Answer:

Ages of cats => a, a+4, 2a-3

Thus,

a + a + 4 + 2a - 3 = 21 \\  \\ 4a + 1 = 21 \\  \\ 4a = 20 \\  \\ a = 5

The a is 5.

This circle graph shows the results of a survey that asked 80
Monica [59]

Answer:

  • 32 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the graph, we can say that 40% of the people rode the bus. We also know that 80 people took the survey.

<u>Solution:</u>

  • 40/100 x 80
  • => 2/5 x 80
  • => 2 x 16
  • => 32 people

Hence, 32 people rode the bus.

Match the equivalent expressions 3x+5x+8, 4x+4x, 4x+4x+4x+4x, -7x + 4 + 3x, 8x, 16x, -4x + 4 and 8x + 8
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Combine like terms; 3x + 5x= 8x

Since you don't have any like terms for +8, it's going to remain the same and not change.

Answer : 3x + 5x + 8 = 8x + 8

Again with combining like terms, 4x + 4x = 8x  

Answer: 4x + 4x = 8x

The third expression is going to be very similar to the last problem. 4x + 4x + 4x + 4x. We're going to add the terms together. 4+4+4+4 is equal to 16. Bring the x down and you get...

Answer: 16x

Lastly, we have -7x + 4 + 3x. Do the exact same thing we did to the other problems, combining like terms, shocking, I know. -7x + 3x= -4 and since there's no other like terms for +4, it stays the same. Therefore

Answer: -7x + 4 + 3x = -4 + 4

I hope this helps, mark as brainliest, please? :)
