The digit 3 is in the millions place value, hence it is worth three million, not three thousand.
Therefore, 3,000,146 should be read as three million, one hundred and forty-six, and NOT three thousand, one hundred and forty-six.
Hope this answer helps you! If it did, please mark it as the brainiest! I would really appreciate it! :)

Solve the inequality. Explain all steps and identify the properties used. 3a-4<_ 5

Ierofanga [76]

Well, you want to solve for a. You first add the 4 to both sides.
3a-4<5
3a<9
Then you want to get a by itself so you divide both sides by 3. Since the 3 is positive you don't have to worry about switching the sign. It stays this way <

After you divided both sides by 3 you get a<3

Solve the equation for x: c a−x/x−a =5x Answer: , a ≠ − 1/5

meriva

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{a-x}{x-a}=5x\\\\\dfrac{(a-x)}{-(a-x)}=5x\qquad\text{cancel}\ (a-x)\\\\-1=5x\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\-\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{5x}{5}\to\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{5}}$
