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.

A decent-sized square plot of land in town is one acre. If Mr. Pearson wants to play football with his son Connor, then how far
sammy [17]
One acre of land is equal to 4046.86 sq.m.
To know how far they can throw the ball from corner to corner can be interpreted in two ways: throwing the ball diagonally across the field or throwing the ball horizontally across the field. For the first question, since the field is a square, you can use the equation Diagonal of Square = A x sq.root of 2.

In this case, the answer would be 89.97 m.

If the ball is thrown horizontally across the field, then you would only need to know the length of one side of the square, which is the square root of the area. Doing this would give you the answer 63.61 m.

A group of people were asked if they had run a red light in the last year. 315 responded "yes", and 190 responded "no".
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

0.624

Step-by-step explanation:

Number who have run a red light = 315

Number who haven't run a red light = 190

From the data :

The total number of people sampled = total possible outcome = (315 + 190) = 505

Selecting a person at random, probability that the selected person has run a red light :

P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = Number who have run a red light = 315

P(having run a red light) = 315 / 505 = 0.624
