Answer:

a = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

3a – 5(a - 2) = 34

→ Expand out the brackets – 5(a - 2)

– 5(a - 2) = – 5(a + 2) = -5a + 10

→ Substitute that back into the equation

3a - 5a + 10 = 34

→ Simplify the 'a's

-2a + 10 = 34

→ Minus 10 from both sides to isolate -2a

-2a = 24

→ Divide both sides by -2 to isolate a

a = -12

How many different seven-letter sequences can be formed from the letters a, a, a, a, a, b, c?
Kaylis [27]

If b is in the first position then c can be in any 1 of the remaining 6 positions.

If we start with ab then the letter c can be in any one of 5 positions and  if we have aab there are 4 possible positions for c and so on.

So the total number of possible sequences where b comes first = 6+5+4+3+2+1 =  21.

The same argument applies when c comes before b  so that gives us 21 ways also.

So the answer is 2 *21 = 42 different sequences.

A more direct way of doing  this  is to use factorials:-

answer = 7! / 5!     =  7 * 6 = 42.

 ( We divide by 5!   because of the 5 a's.)

1: a 24 ounce box of cornflakes cost $4.59?
mestny [16]
The unit rate for the 1st one is: $0.19 / ounce

The unit rate for the 2nd one is: $0.16 / ounce

The 36 ounce box would be the better buy because it is less per ounce than the 24 ounce box
