Distribute -1 into the brackets.
-2(a - 8) + 6a = 36
-2a + 16 + 6a = 36
Take 16 to the other side
-2a + 6a + 16 = 36
               - 16   -16
-2a + 6a = 36 - 16
Combine like terms
4a = 20
Divide by 4 on either sides to isolate a
\frac{4a}{4} =  \frac{20}{4}
4 and 4 cancels out.
a = 5

Which of the following inequalities has a solution x≥−3
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation: 3(x-1) becomes 3x -3 ≤ 4x. Put all like variables on the same side, meaning you'll subtract 3x from both sides giving you -3 ≤ x. You can flip the equation around to make it look exactly like x ≥ -3

According to a state law for vehicles traveling on state roads, the maximum total weight of a vehicle and its contents depends o
Alex787 [66]

Inequalities are used to show the relationship between unequal expressions.

The inequalities that represent the maximum weights are:

  • <em>2 axles - </em>x \le 40000<em>.</em>
  • <em>3 axles - </em>x \le 60000<em>.</em>
  • <em>4 axles - </em>x \le 80000<em>.</em>

<em />

Let the maximum weight be represented with x

In inequality, maximum means less than or equal to i.e. \le

<u>(a) 2 axles</u>

The maximum weight, here is 40000.

So, the inequality is:

x \le 40000

<u>(b) 3 axles</u>

The maximum weight, here is 60000.

So, the inequality is:

x \le 60000

<u>(c) 4 axles</u>

The maximum weight, here is 80000.

So, the inequality is:

x \le 80000

How do you share 4/3 of a rope with two people
laila [671]
Well, you can't have 4/3 of a rope because 3/3 would be one whole. That is an improper fraction. It would be 1 and 1/3. If you divide that in to two, then you get 2/3. Is that the answer you were looking for?
