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.

3/4(8x + 20) - 4x > -11

den301095 [7]

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

3/4(8x + 20) - 4x > -11

x ==> ?

Step 02:

Inequality :

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{4}\cdot(8x\text{ + 20) - 4x > -11} \\ 6x\text{ + }15\text{ -4x > -11} \end{gathered}$

2x + 15 > -11

2x + 15 - 15 > -11 - 15

2x > - 26

2x / 2 > -26 / 2

x > - 13

The answer is:

x > -13

What is the area of the model in the problem?

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

$A=x^2+12x+27\ units^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the model is equal to the area of a rectangle

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=LW$

we have

$L=x+9\ units$

$W=x+3\ units$

substitute

$A=(x+9)(x+3)$

Apply distributive property

$A=x^2+3x+9x+27$

Combine like terms

$A=x^2+12x+27\ units^2$

How to solve 9x-(4x-1)=2

koban [17]

first, we can distribute the negative into the numbers in parentheses

9x-(4x-1)=2

9x-4x+1=2

now we can combine like terms and then isolate x

5x + 1 = 2

5x = 1

x = 1/5

hope this helps
