Answer is: a= -4
STEP
1
:

1
Simplify —————
a + 3
Equation at the end of step
1
:

a 3 1
(————————+—————)-——— = 0
((a2)-9) (a-3) a+3
STEP
2
:

3
Simplify —————
a - 3
Equation at the end of step
2
:

a 3 1
(————————+———)-——— = 0
((a2)-9) a-3 a+3
STEP
3
:

a
Simplify ——————
a2 - 9
Equation at the end of step
3
:

a 3 1
(————————————————— + —————) - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a - 3 a + 3

Equation at the end of step
4
:

(4a + 9) 1
————————————————— - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a + 3
Pull out like factors :

3a + 12 = 3 • (a + 4)

Equation at the end of step
6
:

3 • (a + 4)
————————————————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3)

3•(a+4)
——————————— • (a+3)•(a-3) = 0 • (a+3)•(a-3)
(a+3)•(a-3)

a+4 = 0

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
a = -4

200 kg of brass is melted down and cast into ornamental frogs, each weight 3/20kg. How many frogs are made?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

1,333 frogs

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so we know that mass remains conserved no matter where you are.

same here ^^

if the total mass of brass is 200 kg

the total mass of the new frogs formed from it when put together will be the same :)

and if there were n such frogs formed

we have,

total mass = n × mass of each frog

200 = n × 3/ 20

n = 4000/ 3

so it becomes something like 1,333.33

that is nearly 1,333 frogs can be made out of 200 kg of brass each weighing 3/ 20kg (the last ones a bit less to make upto 200kg)

What is the intersection of x+2y=-4 and 4x=3x+12? And what do i do to find this out?
Andrews [41]
Clean up the equation with x first and x=12.
Substitute this value in to the other equation to solve for y.
You should get a solution of (12,-8)
