Answer:

a=6

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the value of a you need to simplify the equation first. so...

3(a+3)-6=21 (you remove the bracket first)

3a+9-6=21

3a+3=21 (you collect the like terms then)

3a=21-3

3a=18 (then you both divide both sides by 3 to find the value of a)

a=18/3

a=6

to check your answer substitute 3 instead of a

3(a+3)-6=21

3(6+3)-6=21

3(9)-6=21 (according to BODMAS since multiplication comes first you multiply 3 with 9 before subtracting it from 6.)

29-6=21

21=21

Answer:6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a + 3) - 6 = 21

3(a + 3) = 21 + 6

3(a + 3) =27

a + 3. = 27 ÷ 3

a + 3. = 9

a. = 9 - 3

a. = 6

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

1. 7^(x-y)

2. z^5x^y

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

$\dfrac{7^x}{7^y}=\boxed{7^{x-y}}$

$\dfrac{z^{10}x^y}{z^5}=x^yz^{10-5}=\boxed{z^5x^y}$

Find the volume of the cylinder

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cylinder formula pi*r²*h

radius of 9cm is 4.5 as 9/2

so 4.5²*15 is 303.75cm

303.75*pi is 303.75picm³

Question:

Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x^2 + 5x + 7 = 0

Answer:

The number of real solutions for the equation $x^{2}+5 x+7=0$ is zero

Solution:

For a Quadratic Equation of form : $a x^{2}+b x+c=0$ ---- eqn 1

The solution is $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Now , the given Quadratic Equation is $x^{2}+5 x+7=0$ ---- eqn 2

On comparing Equation (1) and Equation(2), we get

a = 1 , b = 5 and c = 7

In $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$ , $b^2 - 4ac$ is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation

Its value determines the nature of roots

Now, here are the rules with discriminants:

1) D > 0; there are 2 real solutions in the equation

2) D = 0; there is 1 real solution in the equation

3) D < 0; there are no real solutions in the equation

Now let solve for given equation

$D= b^2 - 4ac\\\\D = 5^2 - 4(1)(7)\\\\D = 25 - 28 \\\\D = -3$

Since -3 is less than 0, this means that there are 0 real solutions in this equation.
