2/3a - 2= 1/3
add 2 to both sides
2/3a= 2 1/3
change mixed fraction to improper
2/3a= 7/3
divide both sides by 2/3
a= 7/3 ÷ 2/3
to divide fraction, multiply by reciprocal (inverse)
a= 7/3 * 3/2
a= (7*3)/(3*2)
a= 21/6
reduce by 3
a= 7/2 OR 3 1/2

ANSWER: 7/2 OR 3 1/2

Hope this helps! :)

2/3a - 2 = 1/3
2/3a = 2 + 1/3
2/3a = 7/3
a = (7/3) / (2/3)
a = (7/3) * (3/2)
a = 21/6
a = 7/2 ---- that is the answer

Hope this helps!

Multiplying two complex numbers involves ______.
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Multiplying a complex number by a real number

(x + yi) u = xu + yu i. In other words, you just multiply both parts of the complex number by the real number. For example, 2 times 3 + i is just 6 + 2i. Geometrically, when you double a complex number, just double the distance from the origin, 0.

binomial methods

Complex numbers use binomial methods of multiplication because unlike real numbers, imaginary numbers have two components.

So probably A. I sorry, but I need more information. Hope this helps

Answer:

1. Either none (if you have to buy a whole pound), or 1/4 of a pound

2. 3 whole pounds or 3 and 1/4 pounds

If $4 = 1 pound, then we know that $1 (which is 1/4 of $4), will let you by 1/4 pound of blueberries. Knowing this, we can simply:

See how many times 4 goes into the number of dollars you have
