Move terms

12+1.5a=3a

Collect the like terms

1.5a3a=-12

Divide both sides by -1.5

-1.5a=-12

a=8

Isolate the a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, subtract 1.5a from both sides

12 + 1.5a (-1.5a) = 3a (-1.5a)

12 = 3a - 1.5a

12 = 1.5a

Isolate the a. Divide 1.5 from both sides

(12)/1.5 = (1.5a)/1.5

a = 12/1.5

a = 8

8 is your answer for a.

______________________________________________________

Check: Plug in 8 for a.

12 + 1.5(8) = 3(8)

Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS.

12 + 1.5(8) = 24

12 + 12 = 24

24 = 24 (True)

Given a polynomial function f(x), describe the effects on the y-intercept, regions where the graph is increasing and decreasing,

Jobisdone [24]

A. When f(x) becomes g(x) = f(x) + 2, the graph of f(x) is shifted upward 2 units.

B The graph of f(x) is reflected in the x-axis and then vertically compressed by a factor of 1/2.

What is the answer to this

deff fn [24]

So the first column is if a serving is 36 so all you have to do is divide all the different ingredient amounts by three and that will tell you the answer for the serving of 12 row because 12 * 3 = 36

and for the 24 row just multiply all the numbers you get in the 12 row and that will be the answer cause 12 * 2 = 24

then what ever numbers you get on the 12 serving column just divide those by 12 and that will tell you how much you get for one serving and that will help you solve for the 60 one and the 300 one all you have to do it times the numbers by 60 and then 300

If the given values in a right triangle are cos A =

Vlad1618 [11]

See the picture attached to better understand the problem

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos A=AC/AB
cos A=1/3
so
1/3=AC/AB----->AB=3*AC-----> square----> AB²=9*AC²----> equation 1

applying the Pythagoras Theorem
BC²+AC²=AB²-----> 2²+AC²=AB²---> 4+AC²=AB²----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
4+AC²=9*AC²----> 8*AC²=4----> AC²=1/2----> AC=√2/2
so
AB²=9*AC²----> AB²=9*(√2/2)²----> AB=(3√2)/2

the answer is
the hypotenuse is (3√2)/2
