Hello there! The answer to your question is a = 4.

To solve for a in the equation -4 + 4a = 12 you want to isolate, or separate, a from all of the equation's other values.

Our first step is to add 4 to both sides so the 4 cancels out on the left side.

-4+4 + 4a = 12+4

4a = 16

Next, we divide both sides by 4 to finish isolating a.

4/4a = 16/4

a = 4

Want to verify that this is correct? Place the value we found for a (4) into the equation in place of a and if it comes out as a true statement, the answer is correct.

-4 + 4(4) = 12

-4 + 16 = 12

12 = 12

Since 12 is in fact equal to 12, i can guarantee you that i have provided you with the correct answer. I hope this helps & have a great rest of your day! :)

(a) <br> 127.5<br> is what percent of <br> 51<br> ?
ExtremeBDS [4]
To solve this, you need to divide 127.5 by 51:
127.5/51 = 2.5
To find the percent, multiply 2.5 by 100:
2.5 x 100% = 250%
So 127.5 is 250% of 51

A wildlife shelter is home to birds, mammals, and reptiles. If cat chow is sold in 30 lb bags, what is the least number of bags
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

26 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag of cat chows = 30 lbs

Amount of cat chows needed in a week = 15 lbs = ½ bag of cat chow

There are at least 52 weeks in a year.

The least number of cat chows bags needed at the shelter in 1 year = 52 weeks × ½ bag of chow

= 52 × ½

= 52/2

= 26 bags of cat chow

At least, 26 bags would be needed in 1 year (52 weeks) at this wild life shelter if 15 lbs is consumed weekly.
