Answer:a=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

4+7a=12+8a

So first you want to have the variables on the same side

4+7a-7a=12+8a-7a

This is how you got the 7a to the right side. Then you subtract 8a-7a So the equation becomes

4=12+a

Now there are two ways of doing this.

1. 4-12=12-12+a

You moved the 12 to the left side so you have the same variable on one side

4-12=-8

So then a=-8

2. 4-4=12-4+a

0=8+a

then you would have to subtract 8 to keep 'a' by itself

-8=8-8+a

simplify it

-8=a

What would this question look like after we change the mixed number to improper & use KCF to rewrite the question?

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The question $3\frac{1}{2}\div\frac{1}{3}$ after change the mixed number to improper & using KCF will become : $\mathbf{=\frac{7}{2}\times \frac{3}{1}}$

Option B is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to change the mixed number to improper & use KCF to rewrite the question.

The expression is: $3\frac{1}{2}\div\frac{1}{3}$

First converting mixed fraction into improper fraction

Multiply whole number with the denominator i,e (3*2=6) now add the numerator i.e (6+1) = 7/2

Solving:

$3\frac{1}{2}\div\frac{1}{3}\\=\frac{7}{2}\div\frac{1}{3}$

Using KCF

KCF stands fro Keep it, Change it, Flip it.

It is used when division sign is converted to multiplication the term (1/3) is reversed to (3/1)

So, our expression will be

$=\frac{7}{2}\times \frac{3}{1}$

So, The question $3\frac{1}{2}\div\frac{1}{3}$ after change the mixed number to improper & using KCF will become : $\mathbf{=\frac{7}{2}\times \frac{3}{1}}$

Option B is correct option.

Jennifer Lopez met her 9 cousins at a family reunion. The number of male cousins (x) was 2 less than the number of females cousi

vesna_86 [32]

We define the variables first:
x = number of male cousins
y = number of females cousins
We write the system of equations:
x + y = 9
x = y-2
We solve the system:
Equation 1:
x + y = 9
(y-2) + y = 9
2y-2 = 9
y = 11/2 = 5.5
Equation 2:
x = 5.5-2
x = 3.5
Answer:
Although physically it does not make sense, mathematically the answer is:
number of male cousins = 3.5
number of females cousins = 5.5
