Hi there! The answer should be a = 5. I have included an image with the process. Hope this helps for future reference!

P.S. It is okay with me if you save the image for help later. :)

Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a Distribute the 3 into a-4

3a - 12 + 1 = 9 - a Combine like terms

[-12 and 1]

3a - 11 = 9 - a Add 11 to both sides to isolate 3a

+11 +11

3a = 20 - a Add a to remove it and have all a

+a +a

4a = 20 Divide by 4 to only have a

/4 /4

a = 5

Explain how to use the missing pieces strategy to compare two fractions.include a diagram with your explanation.

umka21 [38]

In order for us to tell whichever fraction is greater than or lesser than, we need to look for the missing part.

For example, we have 2/3 and 1/3.
2/3 needs to have 1/3 in order to complete the whole.
1/3 needs to have 2/3 in order to complete the whole.

1/3 < 2/3
<span>So 2/3 is bigger than 1//3</span>

A particle decays at a rate of 0.45% annually. assume and initial amount of 300 mg. (

raketka [301]

The increase is an exponential increase in a multiplier
$100%+0.45%=100.45%$ and as decimal 1.0045

Final Value = Initial Value × $multiplier^{number of years}$
Final value = $300(1.0045)^{60}$
Final value = 393 mg (to the nearest whole number)

Half life = 0.5 years
Final value = $300(1.0045)^{0.5}$ =301 mg

How can i simplify 16m cubed -10m squared

adoni [48]

16m cubed - 10m squared......
take out the common factors
they both have a two that can go into it and both have two m's you can take out
so then it becomes
2m squared(8m-5) and thats your answer (:
