First of all you need to get rid of the -27 on the left side, to do so you add 27 to both sides so it becomes:
5/8a=20
Now you can divide it by 5 to get:
1/8a=4
Now multiply it by 8 to get:
a=32

Hope this helps :)

Use the remainder theorem to find the remainder for (x ^5 + 32) divided by (x+2) and state whether or not the binomial is a fact

marta [7]

$x+2$ is a factor of $x^5+32$ because (by the remainder theorem) the remainder upon dividing $x^5+32$ by $x+2$ is $(-2)^5+32=0$ .

There's also the sum of fifth powers formula,

$a^5+b^5=(a+b)(a^4-a^3b+a^2b^2-ab^3+b^4)$

What is the answer to the equation: 6/4=15/x ?

Nat2105 [25]

To be able to find the value of X, we have to cross multiply the two fractions then solve the equation.
As so,

6/4 = 15/x

Cross Multiply:

6 x X = 6x
4 x 15 = 60

We cross multiplied, now we can set up the equation:

6x = 60

Simplify: (Get X by itself)

Divide 6 on each side

6 / 6x = 60 / 6
x = 60 / 6
x = 10

Now we have the total of X! To check our answer, we can substitute X for 10 in the original equation.
As so:

6/4 = 15/10

6/4 = 1.5
15/10 = 1.5

Correct! Our answer is X = 10!

The radius of Earth is about 3,980 miles. What expression can be used to find the approximate diameter of Earth?

Tatiana [17]

To find the diameter, you use the formula: 2x. we use 2x because the radius is 2 times the diameter.

so, if the radius is 3,980, then we substitute that into the formula.

2(3,980)

this will give us 7960. the diameter is 7960 miles.
