Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find <em>a</em> we need to first isolate it. There is a 5 on the left side along with the -3a that has to be moved.

To do this, we can subtract 5 from both sides of the equation using the subtraction property of equality.

-3a + 5 - 5 = - 1 - 5

-3a = -6

Now that the a term is isolated, the next step is to remove the coefficient.

Let's use the division property of equality and divide both sides of the equation by -3.

-3a/-3 = -6/-3

a = 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3a + 5 = -1

5+1 =3a

6 =3a

divide both sides by 3

6/3 = 3a/3

2=a

Therefore a=2

Given the functions m(x) = 4x − 11 and n(x) = x − 10, solve m[n(x)] and select the correct answer below. (2 points)
Citrus2011 [14]
For this case what we must do is a composition of functions which will be given by:
 m (x) = 4x - 11
 n (x) = x - 10
 We have then:
 m [n (x)] = 4 (x - 10) - 11
 Rewriting the function:
 m [n (x)] = 4x - 40 - 11
 m [n (x)] = 4x - 51
 Answer:
 a. m [n (x)] = 4x - 51

2, -2, 2, -2, common ratio
adelina 88 [10]
To get -2 from 2, you would multiple by -1.

To get 2 from -2, you also would multiple by -1.

Ad infinitum.

So the common ratio is -1.

Hope this helps.
