Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify 5a - 9 + a to 6a - 9.

$6a - 9 = 9$

2) Add 9 to both sides.

$6a = 9 + 9$

3) Simplify 9 + 9 to 18.

$6a = 18$

4) Divide both sides by 6.

$a = \frac{18}{6}$

5) Simplify 18/6 to 3.

$a = 3$

Therefor, the answer is, a = 3.

A number has only 1 factor pair. One of its factors is twice the other factor. What is the number? Explain.

Mrrafil [7]

<h3>Answer: 2</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

If a number only has one factor pair, then that number must be prime. This is because prime numbers only have factors of 1 and the number itself.

For instance, the value 7 is prime because the only factors of this are 1 and 7.

For something like the number 32, it is composite and not prime because it has the factors {1,2,4,8,16,32} and it leads to these three factor pairs: 1*32, 2*16, 4*8. This is one example showing why the answer isn't composite.

-----------

Let's say that p is the unknown prime we want to find. The factors of this are 1 and p. We're told that "one of the factors is twice the other factor", so that must mean p = 2*1 = 2. We can see that 2 is twice that of 1.

Assign two variables for each problem, and write the equations. Do not solve.

Call the amount of pineapple "P', and the amount of gingerale "G".

We know that a mix of pineapple and gingerale makes 200 cups. So:
$P+G=200$

We also know that double the pineapple (i.e. 2P) and triple the gingerale (i.e. 3G) makes 420 cups. So:
$2P+3G=420$

We can now solve by substitution:
$2P+3(200-P)=420$
$2P+600-3P=420$
$-P=-180$
$P=180$

$180+G=200$
$G=20$

For 420 cups we need 2P=360 cups of pineapple and 3G=60 cups of gingerale]

Answer:

5/11

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Corresponding side have same ratio:</u>

55/121 = 5/11 (divide by 11)
40/88 = 5/11 (divide by 8)
30/66 = 5/11 (divide by 6)

The similarity ratio or the scale factor of the larger triangle to the smaller is 5/11
