Answer:

A= 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3/4 (2a-6)+1/2=2/5(3a+20)

(3/4) (2a) + (3/4) (-6) + 1/2 = (3a) + (2/5) (20)

(distribute)

3/2a + -9/2 + 1/2 = 6/5a + 8

(3/2 a) + ( -9/2 + 1/2 ) = 6/5a + 8 (Combine like terms)

3/2a + -4 = 6/5a + 8

3/2a -4 = 6/5a+8

Step 2: Subtract 6/5a from both sides.

3/2a - 4 - 6/5 a = 6/5a + 8 - 6/5 a

3/10 a - 4= 8

Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.

3/10a -4 +4 = 8 + 4

3/10 a = 12

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 10/3

(10/3) * (3/10a) = (10/3) * (12)

a = 40

svp [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is exponential, of the form

y=a(b)^x where a is the initial amount and b is the growth/decay rate. If Ginny begins the study with 1200 frogs in the population, our a value is 1200.

If the population is decreasing 3% per year, it is decreasing 100% - 3% = 97% which, as a decimal, is .97. Our exponential function, then, is

y=1200(.97)^x

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (2,-4) and has a slope of -2
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The answer is

\huge y =  - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

y -  y_1 = m(x -  x_1)

From the question we have

y + 4 =  - 2(x - 2) \\ y + 4 =  - 2x + 4 \\ y =  - 2x + 4 - 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>y = -2x</h3>

Hope this helps you
