     -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

The length and width of a rectangle are measured as 27 cm and 50 cm, respectively, with an error in measurement of at most 0.1 c
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

7.7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is expressed as

A = Length × Width

A = LW

Let dL and dW be the errors in the measurements.

If there is an error of at most 0.1cm each in the measurement, then dL = dW = 0.1cm.

The area of the rectangle with error will be expressed as A = LdW + WdL

Given L = 27cm and W = 50cm

A = 27(0.1)+50(0.1)

A = 2.7+5.0

A = 7.7cm

Hence, the maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle is 7.7cm

What is the equation of a circle with the center(-9,-5) and radius equals 9
mezya [45]

Answer:

(x+9)^2+(y+5)^2=81

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

(h,k)=center

r=radius

so if you just insert the center (-9,-5) and the r with 9

(x-(-9))^2+(y-(-5))^2=9^2

(x+9)^2+(y+5)^2=81

Hope that helps :)

Please help me with this!!! i’m begging!
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Domain is 3 <x>_-2

Range is 6 <x>_-3 (the lines are supposed to be under the >. it means equal to)

Step-by-step explanation:

First look on the x-axis, is goes from 3 to -2. now look at the colored in dot. that means more than <em>or equal to. </em>So the sign of -2 is x >_ -2. put the 3 on the other side. It stops at three so the sign is > 3. so 3<x>_ -2

Do the same with the y-axis except look up and down instead of left and right. so the numbers are 6 and -3. Use the same method above. this is set builder notation.
