Solve 4 - 2(-5a - 10)=30 and justify each step

1 answer:

5 0

First you would do parenthesis according to the PEMDAS(Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract) Rule

4 -2(-5a -10) = 30

4 + 10a + 20 = 30

Now you need to add 4 and 20 because they are on the same side

24 + 10a = 30

Now subtract 24 on both sides

24 + 10a = 30

-24. -24

10a = 6

Last divide 10 from both sides

10a/10. = 6/10

a= 6/10

Last simplify (optional but recommended)

a = 3/5 or 0.6

Hope this helped :)

A = 0.6

3 l = _____ dl A. 0.3 B. 0.03 C. 300 D. 30

Andru [333]

Answer: The correct option is D, i.e.,30.

Explanation:

It the given equation we have two units l and dl.

Where l represents the liter and dl represents the deciliter. These are the volume units.

We know that,

1 liter = 10 deciliter

It means,

1 l = 10 dl

Multiply both sides by 3,

1\times 3 l = 10\times 3 dl

3 l = 30 dl

Therefore, the correct option is D and 3 l = 30 dl.

it cost $35 for one adult and two children to attend a show. It cost $60 for two adults and three children to attend the same sh

N76 [4]

Assume that,
adult = x
child = y

x+2y = 35 (1st equation)
2x+3y = 60 (2nd equation)
x = 35-2y (3rd equation)

Substitute 3 into 2 :

2(35-2y) + 3y =60
70-4y +3y = 60
y = 10

x+2y = 35
x+2(10) =35
x +20 =35
x = 15

One adult = $15
