Answer:

a=2.5

3a-2.4=5.1   Add the like terms ( plus 2.4 cancels out -2.4)

   +2.4  +2.4

3a=7.5  Now divide by 3

/3     /3

a=2.5

Insert parentheses to make each statement true20-25

20: 30-4 x (2+5)=2
21. 17-(8-5)= 14
22. You put (10/2)-3+1, but it isn't necessary

Explanation: to solve these equations, use PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division.) these equations don't involve exponents, though, so ignore that part. If 30 is left alone, you would multiply 4x2 before doing anything else. This would mean you would have 30-8+5' which gets you to 27, an incorrect answer. However, if you put parentheses around (2+5), you add those first, meaning you would then have 30-4(2+5) = 30-4(7) = 30-28= 2.

Two accounts earn simple interest. The balance y (in dollars) of Account A after x years can be modeled by y=10x+500. Account B
guapka [62]

1)

A has a greater principal

2)

Principal of A is $500, the principal of B is $400, so A's principal is greater by $100

3)

Annual interest rate of A:

10/500 x 100

The interest rate of B is higher.

4) B's annual interest rate is 5% and A's annual interest rate is 2%, so B's is higher by 3%.

Hope this helps! Have a great Tuesday!
