In order to do this you have to substitute b with 9 and get 3a+9=54, now subtract 9 from both sides to leave a by itself and get 3a=45, now divide 3 in both sides to leave a by itself and get a=15
Hope this helps
Answer:
86
Step-by-step explanation:
let four consecutive integers: n , n+1 , n+2 , n+3
n + n+1 + n+2 + n+3 = 342
4n + 6 = 342
4n + 6 - 6 = 342 - 6
4n = 336
divid by : 4
n = 84
but the third term is : n +2 so : 84+2 = 86
Answer:
1. So the porpotion should be 25/100 = x/120
You have this because you know that 25% of the dogs who go to ABC veterinarian need a rabies booster. So 100% of the dog should be 120 dogs, and now our job is to find how many dogs make up 25% percent of the total number.
According to our porpotion, we have:
(120 . 25)/100 = 30 (dogs)
Another way of understanding this is that you have to find 25% of the total amount, so just take that total number and multiply it with 25% or 25/100 which is 0.25 as well, that's why we multiply it with 25 first and then divide it to 100 later.

*I guess there is no need of explaining it
0.9 × 550 = 495
Her error was that she thought 0.1 and 1/4 were negatives but they are still positive.
She also thought the larger the negative the greatest one. The smaller negative is the greatest because it's bellow 0.
To solve this you would first need to turn 1/4 into 0.25
It would start out with -2 cause that is the least. Then -1. Now its back to positive so the least to greatest would be normal.
So the real answer would be -2, -1, 0.1, 1/4
to convert a fraction to a decimal, like say a/b is really simply the quotient of a ÷ b.
now, let's first convert the mixed fraction to improper, and then do the division.
![\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5\frac{5}{16}}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 16+5}{16}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{85}{16}}\\\\[-0.35em] \rule{31em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{85}{16}\implies 85\div 16\implies 5.3125](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B5%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B16%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B5%5Ccdot%2016%2B5%7D%7B16%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B85%7D%7B16%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20%5Crule%7B31em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccfrac%7B85%7D%7B16%7D%5Cimplies%2085%5Cdiv%2016%5Cimplies%205.3125%20)
