How do you do: -6(6a-5)=-2(8-5a)

Mathematics
1 answer:
devlian [24]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. distribute the -6 on the left into the parentheses. you should get -36a + 30.

2. on the side right of the =, distribute the -2 to get -16 + 10a.

now it should look like -36a + 30 = -16 + 10a.

3. move the terms over to isolate the a value. subtract 30 to the right side to get -46 (-36a=-46+10a)

4. move the 10a on the right to the left by subtracting it to the other side.

(-46a=-46)

5.divide by -46 to get a=1

<h3>Answer:</h3>

none of these has "no solution"

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A. The solution is (8/3, 3)

B. The second equation is -1/2 times the first, so these describe the same line. The system has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>.

C. The solution is (-4, -2)

D. The solution is (4, -2)

E. The second equation is 2 times the first, so these describe the same line. The system has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>.

_____

A system of equations will have "no solution" when it describes parallel lines—lines that do not intersect. In standard form, such equations are recognizable by their different constants. For example,

  • 3x -4y = -4
  • 3x -4y = 20 . . . . . . 20 is different from -4

have different constants, so the equations describe parallel lines.

We could multiply one of these by -2 and the system would still be "inconsistent"—having no solution.

  • 3x -4y = -4
  • -6x +8y = -40

In recent year a letter to Europe from the United States cost $0.94 to mail. A letter mailed within United States cost $0.44. Na
Bogdan [553]
3 letters to US = 3*0.94 = 2.82
2 local letters = 2*0.44 =  0.88 
checking: 2.82+0.88 = 3.70

to get rid out of 0.04 cents you have to multiply it by 5. so total number of letters would be 5.
