     -2(a - 8) + 6a = 36
-2(a) + 2(8) + 6a = 36
     -2a + 16 + 6a = 36
     -2a + 6a + 16 = 36
              4a + 16 = 36
                    - 16  - 16
                       4a = 20
                        4      4
                          a = 5

Distribute -2

-2a + 16 + 6a = 36

Add like terms.

4a + 16 = 36

Factor out 4

4(a+4) = 36

Divide both sides by 4

a + 4 = 9

Subtract 4 on both sides

a = 5

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is: y = mx + b

where:

m = slope

b = y-intercept [the place where x=0]

So the line

y = 20x + 0

has

a slope of 20

a y-intercept of 0 [0,0]

it goes through the Origin

If f(x) = −2[x]+ 8, what is f(−1.8)?<br><br><br> 4<br><br> 6<br><br> 10<br><br> 12
Genrish500 [490]

Functions whose graphs resemble sets of stairsteps are known as step functions. The most famous of the step functions is the greatest integer function, which is denoted by:


f(x)=[x]


which graph is shown in the Figure below. As you can see from the graph:


if \ x=-1.8 \ then \ f(-1.8)=[-1.8]=-2


Therefore:


f(-1.8)=-2[-1.8]+8=-2(-2)+8=\boxed{12}


So the right answer is 12

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The difference in elevation between Laguna del Carbon and El Alto is 12,656 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Laguna del carbon, a salt lake located in Argentina, lies 344 feet below sea level, while El Alto, Bolivia, is located approximately 13,000 feet above sea level, to determine what is the difference in elevation between Laguna del Carbon and El Alto, the following calculation must be performed:

13,000 - 344 = X

12.656 = X

Thus, the difference in elevation between Laguna del Carbon and El Alto is 12,656 feet.

Given MTS and SQP, find sq
STALIN [3.7K]

The measure of the side SQ from the given diagram is 19/6

<h3>Similar shapes</h3>

Similar shapes are shapes that has equal length and equal side measures and angles.

From the given diagram, the measure of the sides TSis congruent to SP and the measure of MS is congruent to SQ.

Using the expression below to determine the value of x

MS/ST = SQ/SP

Given the following parameters

MS =30

ST = 10

SQ = 6x-1

SP =  3 - 2x

Substitute the given parameters into the formula to have:

30/10 = 6x-1/3-2x

Cross multiply

10(6x-1) = 30(3-2x)

Expand

60x - 10 = 90 - 60x

60x + 60x = 90 + 10

120x = 100

x = 10/12

x = 5/6

Determine the measure of SQ

SQ = 6x - 1

SQ = 5(5/6) - 1

SQ = 25/6  - 1

SQ = 19/6

Hence the measure of the side SQ from the given diagram is 19/6
