2.5(a + 4) + 0.5a = 12.4

Mathematics
1 answer:
finlep [7]3 years ago
4 0

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 :)

Find the sum of the first 9 terms of the sequence. Show all work for full credit.
Kamila [148]
We can see the sequence goes by decreasing 9 on each number

so the numbers are

2, -7, -16, -25, -34, -43, -52, -61, -70

so adding all these numbers we get

2-7-16-25-34-43-52-61-70

= -306


hope this helped

LenKa [72]

Answer:

d = 19 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Total dist = bike dist + train dist

d = 12(.5) + 20(.5)

d = 6 + 13

d = 19 mi

Please help me on this problem​
AleksandrR [38]
Find the perimeter of the scale artwork
P=2(l+w)
P=2(2.5+1.75)
=2(4.25)= 8.5 in

1 in = 0.5 ft
8.5in = 0.5(8.5)
=4.25ft = 51 in
the actual perimeter is 51 in or 4.25 ft

Let W be the subspace of R5 spanned by the vectors w1, w2, w3, w4, w5, where
Gwar [14]
To find W⊥, you can use the Gram-Schmidt process using the usual inner-product and the given 5 independent set of vectors. 

<span>Define projection of v on u as </span>
<span>p(u,v)=u*(u.v)/(u.u) </span>
<span>we need to proceed and determine u1...u5 as: </span>
<span>u1=w1 </span>
<span>u2=w2-p(u1,w2) </span>
<span>u3=w3-p(u1,w3)-p(u2,w3) </span>
<span>u4=w4-p(u1,w4)-p(u2,w4)-p(u3,w4) </span>
<span>u5=w5-p(u4,w5)-p(u2,w5)-p(u3,w5)-p(u4,w5) </span>

<span>so that u1...u5 will be the new basis of an orthogonal set of inner space. </span>

<span>However, the given set of vectors is not independent, since </span>
<span>w1+w2=w3, </span>
<span>therefore an orthogonal basis cannot be found. </span>
