8a + a - 3 = 6a - 2a - 3
1. Add the a's on both sides:
9a - 3 = 4a - 3
2. Shift 4a to the left and -3 to the right of the equals sign (this changes their signs):
9a - 4a = -3 + 3
3. Simplify:
5a = 0
So a = 0
The answer is D. If you need to show your work just cross multiply the bottom two fractions. Once you get that answer, multiply
3/8 and 15/8.
Since the length of the original painting is 108 inches, you take 1/12 and multiply it by 108 and get 9 inches.
the length of Sammy's drawing is 9 inches.
Answer:
-36
Step-by-step explanation:
replace x with -5 and solve for the parenthesis and then take that number which would be -16 and multiply it by 9 which then would give you -144. So then you would take -144 and divide it by 4 and your answer would be -36.
