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

Let r and s be the roots of x^2 - 6x + 2 = 0. Find (r - s)^2.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer: $(r-s)^{2} = 28$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{2} -6x+9=-2+9$
$(x-3)^{2}=7$
$(x-3)= -\sqrt{7}$ or $\sqrt{7}$ <-- there's no plus/minus sign.

$(x-3) = -\sqrt{7}$
$x = 3 -\sqrt{7}$ <-- root.

$(x-3) = \sqrt{7}$
$x = 3+\sqrt{7}$ <-- root.

$[(3-\sqrt{7})-(3+\sqrt{7})]^{2}$
$(3-\sqrt{7} -3 - \sqrt{7})^{2}$ <-- don't forget to distribute the negative.
$(-2\sqrt{7})^{2}$
$(4)(7)$
$28$

Choose the correct answer with the reason

icang [17]

The answer should be D
Step by Step: |2x-2| <(or equal to) 6
Add 2 on both sides should give you, |2x| < 8
Divide both sides by 2, giving you 4
Other way, is doing the same but -2
