So,
First you have to distribute the numbers outside of the parentheses (you multiply them with the numbers inside of the parentheses
-18+(-9a) + 8a +36=11
Then collect like terms
18-1a =11
-18 -18
---------------------
-1a=-7
Divide both sides by -1
a=7
If x equals 2 and y equals 1/4 , the equation is 2 • 2 + 1/4 • 3
and that equals 4.75
9514 1404 393
Answer:
3. C(−1, −5), D(2, −5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given points are 2 -(-1) = 3 units apart horizontally, so the remaining points will need to be 18/3 = 6 units below, vertically. Translating the given points down 6 gives ...
D = A -(0, 6) = (2, 1) -(0, 6) = (2, -5)
C = B -(0, 6) = (-1, 1) -(0, 6) = (-1, -5)
The two points required to make a rectangle with an area of 18 square units are ...
C(-1, -5), D(2, -5)
_____
The area of a rectangle is the product of length and width. If the area is 18 square units, and the width is 3 units, then the length must be 6 units. 3×6=18.
So let's start out by labeling Ethan as X
Since 85 is 1/3 of what Ethan drove, that means Ethan drove 3 times of 85.
85= (3x) -21
85 -21 = 3x
60=3x
20 = x
