Answer: 2a -5 = 7    and a = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If 5 is less than twice a, the the expression will be  2a -5, since 2 a is the same as 2 times a, and 5 less than 2a is the same as subtracting 5 from 2a. "is" is the same as equal to, so the whole expression has to equal 7.

2a - 5 = 7   You can solve for a by adding 5 to both sides.

   +5    +5

2a = 12         Now divide both sides by 2.

a =  6.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

37.5 acres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of his land  where vegetables are grown

= 1 - 1/3 - 2/3 *3/5

(after taking away 1/3 we get 2/3 and the farmer uses 3/5 of this 2/3 to grow Maize.

= 1 - 1/3 - 6/15              LCD of 3 and 15= 15  so we write:

= 1 - 5/15 - 6/15

= 1 - (5+6)/16

=  1 - 11/15

= 4/15.

4 /15 is equivalent to  10 acres

so  total  area (= 1)  =   10 / 4/15     Invert the 4/15 and multiply:

= 10 * 15/4

=  150/4

= 37.5 acres.

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line y = x + 2?
BigorU [14]
A slope of any line parallel to y = x + 2 will be 1. 

The slope of parallel lines are always equal. Since we do not see a number next to the x in the original equation, there is an assumed 1 there. Therefore any line that is parallel with it would also have to be 1.
