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.

Drag and drop each expression into the box to correctly classify it as having a positive or negative product
AfilCa [17]

Following expressions will have negative product

(\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{1}{2})\ and\ (-\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{2})

Following expressions will have positive product

(-\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{1}{2})\ and\ (\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{2})

Further explanation:

We will see at each expression one by one

First expression is:

(-\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{2})

In the given expression one term is positive and one term is negative. The product of negative and positive terms is negative.

Second Expression is:

(-\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{1}{2})

Both terms are negative and the product of two negative terms is positive.

Third Expression is:

(\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{1}{2})

The expression has one positive and one negative term so the product will be negative

Fourth Expression is:

(\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{2})

Both terms are positive so the product will also be positive

A rectangle has an area of 171 square meters. Its width is ten meters less than the length. Find the measures of the length and
9966 [12]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is 171 m²

Let l is the length and b is the width of the rectangle

It width is 10 m less than the length. So,

b = l-10 ...(1)

Area of a rectangle is given by :

A=l\times b\\\\171=l(l-10)\\\\l^2-10l=171\\\\l^2-10l-171=0\\\\l^2-19l+9l-171=0\\\\\text{taking common together}\\\\l(l-19)+9(l-19)=0\\\\(l-9)(l-19)=0

or

l = 9 m or l = 19 m

If l = 9 m,

b = 9-10 = -1 m (can't be possible)

If l = 19 m

b = 19-10 = 9 m

So, the length an the breadth of the rectangle is 19 m and 9 m respectively.
