<span>9a + -3(2a + -4) = 15
Reorder the terms:
9a + -3(-4 + 2a) = 15
9a + (-4 * -3 + 2a * -3) = 15
9a + (12 + -6a) = 15
Reorder the terms:
12 + 9a + -6a = 15
Combine like terms: 9a + -6a = 3a
12 + 3a = 15
Solving
12 + 3a = 15
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + 3a = 15 + -12
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 3a = 15 + -12
3a = 15 + -12
Combine like terms: 15 + -12 = 3
3a = 3
Divide each side by '3'.
a = 1
Simplifying
a = 1</span>

Answer:
No, her answer is unreasonable because 0.2 * 6 = 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this question, we are trying to use an approximation to see if what was said to be the result of a calculation is reasonable as an answer.
Looking at her division, 2.76/6 = 0.19
To the nearest tenth , 0.19 is same as 0.2, now multiplying 0.2 by 6, what we have is 1.2 ( of which even 0.19 * 6 is expected to be less than this). we can see that this value is quite far from our expected answer of 2.76 which makes the answer an unreasonable one
Thus, the division 2.76/6 = 0.19 is not a reasonable answer
