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.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say, a=9,b=11,c=6

Then associative properties says that every element is related to each other, here "b" associates a &c.

Therefore, a is related to b+c

c is related to a+b

Suppose you want to accumulate $25,000 as down payment on a house and the best you can do is to put aside $200 a month. If you d

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

It will take 88.2 months to accumulate the amount

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Future value of money, FV = $25,000

investment per compound period, P = $200

interest rate, i = 0.75% x 12 = 9%

The number of monthly installments required to amount to FV is given by;

$n = \frac{ln(FVi +cp)-ln(cp)}{ln(c+i)-ln(c)}\\\\ n = \frac{ln(25000*0.09 +200*12)-ln(200*12)}{ln(12+0.09)-ln(12)}\\\\n = \frac{8.4446 -7.7832}{2.4924-2.4849}\\\\n = 88.2 \ months$

Therefore, it will take 88.2 months to accumulate the amount.

Answer:

A. $V = (pi)(3.25)^2(12)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is the formula for the area of the circle, times the height of the cylinder. The formula for the volume of a circle is,

$A = (pi)(r)^2$

Multiply that by the height to find the formula for the volume of a cylinder,

$V=(pi)(r)^2(h)$

Where (pi) represents the value (3.1415), (r) represents the radius, and (h) represents the height of the cylinder. Now substitute in the given values, remember, this problem gives the diameter of the cylinder, divide that value by two to find the radius.

$V=(pi)(\frac{6.5}{2})^2(12)\\\\V = (pi)(3.25)^2(12)$
