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

For question 3, use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Juliette [100K]

Step-by-step explanation:

can't really use the Pythagorean because you don't know this is a right triangle.

use the fact that they are similar

3/6 = x/12 where x is FE

cross multiply

6x = 36 therefore FE = 6

then 6/12 = y/9 where y is FD

cross multiply

12y = 54 = 54/12 therefore FD = 4.5

In hopes of encouraging healthier snacks at school, Leah brought in a tray of carrot sticks

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

40 % of the snacks were carrot sticks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of carrot sticks in lunch = 18

Total number of apple slices in lunch = 27

So, Total Snacks in the Lunch = Carrot Sticks + Apple Slices

= 18 + 27 = 45

Now, $\textrm{Percentage of Carrot Sticks} = \frac{\textrm{The number of Carrot sticks in lunch}}{\textrm{Total snacks in the lunch}} \times 100$

= $\frac{18}{45} \times100 = 40$

⇒Percentage of Carrot Sticks = 40%

Hence, 40 % of the snacks were carrot sticks.
