Answer:

x = -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(4x + 9) = 15

Divide 3 on both sides

-3(4x + 9) /3 = 15 /3

Which makes

4x+9=-5

Subtract 9 on both sides

4x+9 -9  = -5   -9

Which makes

4x=-14

So we divide 4

4x  /4 = -14 /4

And we get......

x = -7/2

I hope it's right!

The population of a city is 45,000 and decreases 2% each year. If the trend continues, what will the population be after 15 year
Sloan [31]
The answer is 31,500.
Let's clarify some things :
1% of 45,000 is 450
Maybe you're wondering why , it's actually very simple .
Just move the decimal to the left once if you want to find 10% , move the decimal twice if you want to find 1%.
We now that 1% equals 450. Then 2% equals to....
Well just add another 1% .
450 + 450 or 450 times 2
Which equals 900.
Now we want to find what's the population after 15 years.
900 times 15= 13,500
But that's not the answer ....
That's what is decreasing.
45,000 - 13,500= 31,500
That's why the answer is 31,500.

A line passes through the points (2,-2) and (-6,2). The point (a.-4) is also on the line. What is the value of a?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

<u><em>6</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there) The formula of your line is:

-2=2k+b\\2=-6k+b\\=>4=-8k\\k=-0.5\\=> b=-2+1=-1\\=>y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x-1\\

If point has y=-4, then:

-4=-\dfrac{1}{2}a-1\\4=\dfrac{1}{2}a+1\\a=6

Hope this helps) Have a nice day/night :)

What is an algebra?​
Angelina_Jolie [31]
In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics. It includes everything from elementary equation solving to the study of abstractions such as groups, rings, and fields.
