Answer:
a=3/5 or 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
a-8/5-2/3a=-7/5
Step 1: Multiply both sides
15a-24-10a=-21
Step 2: Combine like terms
5a-24=-21
Step 3: Calculate and divide both sides by 5
5a=3
Solution:
a=3/5 or 0.6
1. -2g = 1.75 -4
-g = -2.25/2
g = 1.12
Answer:
Li Ping's statement makes sense.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a square with side lengths a inches is given by, 
.
Now, the area of a parallelogram with equal sides a inches, which is not a square is given by, 
, where, h is the perpendicular distance between the opposite sides.
See the diagram attached.
Since a is the hypotenuse of as right triangle with height h, hence, a > h.
So, 
Therefore, Li Ping's statement makes sense. (Answer)
Let one of the numbers be x. The other number cab then be represented as 36-x (x+36-x = 36).
The product can then be represented as y = x(36-x) or y=36x-x2
The maximum or minimum is always on the axis of symmetry which has the formula x=-b/2a.
In our case, the axis of symmetry is -36/-2, so x=18.
If one number is 18 and the 2 numbers add to 36, the other number is 18 as well.
So the 2 numbers are 18 and 18 and the maximum product is 324,
