Use substitution method

3a+9=54

3a+9-9=54-9

3a= 45

divide by 3

3a/3= 45/3

a= 15

Answer is a= 15

Answer:

a = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

3a + b = 54

3a + 9 = 54

3a + 9 - 9 = 54 - 9

3a = 45

3a divided by 3 = 45 divided by 3

a = 15

3 x 15 + 9 = 54

45 + 9 = 54

54 = 54

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Percentage increase in the cost of his train ticket = 3% (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of annual ticket paid by Patrick last year = £2,534

Cost of annual ticket paid by Patrick current year = £2,612

Find:

Percentage increase in the cost of his train ticket

Computation:

Percentage increase = [(Current - Base) / Base]100

Percentage increase in the cost of his train ticket = [(2,612 - 2,534) / 2,534]100

Percentage increase in the cost of his train ticket = [(78) / 2,534]100

Percentage increase in the cost of his train ticket = [0.03078]100

Percentage increase in the cost of his train ticket = 3.078

Percentage increase in the cost of his train ticket = 3% (Approx.)

Physics students were modeling the height of a ball once it was dropped from the top of a 10 foot ladder. The

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Interval notation: [0, 2.236]

Set Builder notation: $\{t\ |\ 0\le t\le 2.236\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Equation of height of the ball dropped from a height of 10 foot, as:

$h(t) = 10 - 2t^2$

Where $t$ is the time since the ball was dropped.

To find:

The domain of the function in Interval and set builder notation.

Solution:

Domain of a function is defined as the set of valid input values that can be given to the function for which the function is defined.

Here, input is time.

We can not have negative values for time.

Therefore, starting value for time will be 0 seconds.

And the value of height can not be lesser than that of 0 ft.

$0= 10 - 2t^2\\\Rightarrow 2t^2=10\\\Rightarrow t^2=5\\\Rightarrow t =2.236\ seconds$

Maximum value for time can be 2.236 seconds.

Therefore the domain is:

Interval notation: [0, 2.236]

Set Builder notation: $\{t\ |\ 0\le t\le 2.236\}$
