     -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

Last month, Justina dog ate 50 cans of dog food in 30 days. How many cans should Justin buy for the next 6 days
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The answer is 7 2/3 cans for the next 6 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The dog ate 50 cans in 30 days.

To get how many cans per day, divide:

50/30 = 1 2/3 cans per day.

To get how many cans for 6 days, multiply:

6 * 1 2/3 = 18/3 + 5/3 = 23/3 = 7 2/3 cans or 7.667 in decimal form.

Hope this helps!! Have an Awesome day!!! :-)
