Answer:a=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
4a + -5 + 2a + 9 = 28
Reorder the terms:
-5 + 9 + 4a + 2a = 28
Combine like terms: -5 + 9 = 4
4 + 4a + 2a = 28
Combine like terms: 4a + 2a = 6a
4 + 6a = 28
Solving
4 + 6a = 28
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + 6a = 28 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 6a = 28 + -4
6a = 28 + -4
Combine like terms: 28 + -4 = 24
6a = 24
Divide each side by '6'.
a = 4
Simplifying
a = 4
Using proportions, it is found that the life span of the person would be 14 years, 212 days and 22 hours shorter.
---------------------------
- 2 packs a day for 35 years is 40 cigarettes a day for 12775 days, as
. - Thus, a total of 511000 cigarettes, as
. - Assuming each cigarette costs 15 minutes of life, the person loses 7665000 minutes of life, as

- One year has 525600 minutes, thus the person loses 14 years of life, as

- Looking at the decimal part, the person loses 212 days of life, as

- Again looking at the decimal part, 22 hours, as

- Thus, the person loses 14 years, 212 days and 22 hours of life.

Answer should be rational
Answer:
root3/ root2
Step-by-step explanation:
since this is a special right triangle (45, 45, 90) we can use right triangle rules. Basically, C in my photo is equal to the hypotenuse while A and B are equal to the sides. You can substitute your hypotenuse into the formula I gave you to find x.
B = C / root2
x = root3 / root2
