The answer is a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction

To find the numerator, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator to it.

The denominator remains the same.

So, 2 $\frac{2}{3}$ will be $\frac{8}{3}$

2. Now the equation is,

$\frac{3}{2}$ a - $\frac{4}{3}$ a = $\frac{10}{3}$ + $\frac{8}{3}$ a

3. Take LCM on both sides.

For the left side, multiply the first fraction by $\frac{3}{3}$ and multiply the second fraction by $\frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{3*3}{2*3}$ a - $\frac{4*3}{3*3}$ a = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

4. Solve by making a the subject

$\frac{9a-8a}{6}$ = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

$\frac{a}{6}$ = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

$\frac{3a}{6}$ =10+8a

$\frac{a}{2}$ = 10 + 8a

a = 2(10 + 8a)

a = 20 + 16a

a-16a = 20

-15a = 20

a = $\frac{20}{-15}$

a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

Therefore, the answer is a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

P = 5

I am not sure if this is correct. However, P is used to represent the addresses and there are 5 addresses. Therefore p = 5.

Olve for x. Check each step or answer that is correct. 34(x + 4) = 14(x + 8) (A) Distribute 34 on the left side of the equation.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

x = -1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Th given equation is :

34(x + 4) = 14(x + 8)

Step (A) Distribute 34 on the left side of the equation such as :

34x + 34(4) = 14(x + 8)

34x + 136 = 14(x + 8)

Step (B) Distribute 14 on the right side of the equation such as :

34x + 136 = 14x + 14(8)

34x + 136 = 14x + 112

Step (C) Subtract 14x from each side of the equation.

34x + 136 - 14x = 14x + 112 -14x

20x + 136 = 112

Step (D) Subtract 136 from each side of the equation.

20x + 136 -136 = 112 -136

20x = -24

Step (E) Divide both side by 20

$\dfrac{20x}{20}=\dfrac{-24}{20}\\\\x=-1.2$

So, the value of x is (-1.2). Hence, steps (D) and (E) are incorrect.
