Hello there! The answer to your question is a = 4.
To solve for a in the equation -4 + 4a = 12 you want to isolate, or separate, a from all of the equation's other values.
Our first step is to add 4 to both sides so the 4 cancels out on the left side.
-4+4 + 4a = 12+4
4a = 16
Next, we divide both sides by 4 to finish isolating a.
4/4a = 16/4
a = 4
Want to verify that this is correct? Place the value we found for a (4) into the equation in place of a and if it comes out as a true statement, the answer is correct.
-4 + 4(4) = 12
-4 + 16 = 12
12 = 12
Since 12 is in fact equal to 12, i can guarantee you that i have provided you with the correct answer. I hope this helps & have a great rest of your day! :)
Answer:
$255
Step-by-step explanation:
As, the area of the pool bottom = length x breath
= 20 x 15 = 300 square foot
So for painting
Per square foot = $0.85
So for 300 square foot = $0.85 x 300
= $255

Answer:
D. x = 15; y = 5√3
Step-by-step explanation:
You don't need to know any trig to select the correct answer. You only need to know that the lengths of both sides must be less than the length of the hypotenuse. It is also helpful to know that √3 is about 1.732, so 10√3 ≈ 17.32.
Since x < 10√3, only answer choices A and D are viable.
Since y < 10√3, only answer choice D is viable.

If you want to solve this using trig relations, you can recall that the sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle have the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. This means short side y is half the length of the hypotenuse 10√3, so y = 5√3. It also means longer side x is √3 times y, so is x = (5√3)√3 = 5·3 = 15.
x = 15; y = 5√3
