Answer:
a = 18.15
Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation first. Add 7 and 42, then subtract 32 from the answer you get, then subtract 32 from that answer. This is going by order of PEMDAS.
Remember PEMDAS: (numbers 3 & 4 and numbers 5 & 6 are solved from left to right)
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication
- Division
- Addition
- Subtraction

After combining like terms on the left side, you get -15. Now combine like terms on the right side of the equation by adding 14.3 and 7.

Get -2a alone by subtracting 21.3 from both sides.

Divide both sides by -2.

In this equation, a should equal

Answer:
I will help you but question is not clear
<span>The word problem gives a rate of oil consumption at a rate of 25 gallons per 3 hours and 45 minutes. 3 hours and 45 minutes can be displayed as 3.75 hours. so you can say the generator consumes oil at a rate of 25 gallons per 3.75 hours. The following equation give you the oil consumption on a per hour basis; 25/3.75 and that gives you 6.67 gallons per hour. In 6 hours the generator will consume 40 gallons.</span>
a) t in this equation would be the number of years so in this case t=4
b)3.5/100=0.035
c)A=600(1+(0.035/1)^(1×4)=688.51
d) The account earned $88.51
