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)

Find the slope of the line that passes through (-33, -27) and (-32, -25).
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the slope between two points by using the "rise-over-run" method.

This method essentially calculates the slope as the quotient of the vertical span and horizontal span of the two points.

You can find it through this formula:

s = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

To find the slope, use two points, (x1, y1) and (x2 and y2).

For the points given, I will replace those values in the formula with (-33, -27) and (-32, -25).

s = \frac{-27 - (-25)}{-33 - (-32)}\\\\s = \frac{-2}{-1}\\\\s = 2

The slope of the line is 2.

Solve for x each is a parallelogram
jonny [76]

Answer:

UW = EW+UE=2×EW because, EW=UE

7x-2=2×6= 12

7x=14

x=14/7

x=2

<h2>2 is the right answer.</h2>

x + 80 = 180 - (64 + 36)

x + 80 = 180 - 100

x + 80 = 80

x = 0

<h2>0 is the right answer.</h2>
