2.5(a + 4) + 0.5a = 12.4

Mathematics

Answer:

a=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First I distributed 2.5 into (a+4) and got (2.5a+10)+0.5a=12.4. I then combined like terms which are 2.5a and 0.5a and got 3a+10=12.4. I subtracted 10 from both sides to get rid of it and got 3a=2.4. Later, I divided 3 from both sides to get a which comes out to be 0.8.

Hope this helps you :)

Alexxandr [17]

The surface area of a sphere is: 4pr^2

(4p(36^2)ft^2)(gal/160ft^2)

(5184p ft^2)(gal/160ft^2)=32.4p gal which is approximately:

101.78 gal

So the company must purchase 102 gallons of paint.

What is required to name a plane

Ludmilka [50]

You need three non-collinear points to name a plane.

Non-collinear means "not on the same straight line". So these three points can't all lie on the same straight line. If three points do lie on the same straight line, then it is impossible to generate a single unique plane.

Andre is setting up rectangle tables for a party. He can fit 6 chairs around a single table. Andre lined up 10 tables end to end

IRINA_888 [86]

If there is one table (t=1) then 6 chairs (c=6) can be placed around the table, 2 along the length on each side and 1 at each end.
When t=2, and the tables are end to end (joined at their width) c=10, that is, 4 chairs on each side of the double table and 1 at each end. Each time a table is added c increases by 4 so we can write c=4t+2 the constant 2 being the single chair at each end. If the tables are separated then c=6t.

in Math class we are Learning about Pi which equals 3.14 how do you find the diameter and radius i dont understand it can you gu

kirill [66]

If you're finding diameter or radius based on circumference, use the formula C = πd. You would divide the circumference by pi to get the diameter, then divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius.

If you're finding diameter or radius based on area, use the formula A = πr^2. You would divide the area by pi, then find the square root of that value which is the radius. Just multiply the radius by 2 to find diameter.

State of the given functions are inverses. Part 3. NO LINKS!!!!

Effectus [21]

Answer:

h(x)=-x-1

let y =-x-1

interchanging role of x & y

x=-y-1

y=-x-1

h-¹(x)=-x-1

again

f(x)=(2-3x)/2

let

y=(2-3x)/2

interchanging role of x & y

x=(2-3y)/2

2x-2=-3y

y=(2-2x)/3

f-¹(x)=(2-2x)/3

Given function are not inverse of each other.

10.

f(x)=-x+3

let y=-x+3

interchanging role of x & y

x=-y+3

y=3-x

f-¹(x)=-x+3

equal to g(x)=-x+3

Given function are inverse of each other.
