Answer:
a = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Solve:
- 4(3a - 4) = 56
- 3a - 4 = 14 (factoring out 4)
- 3a = 18 (adding 4 to both sides)
- a = 6 (dividing by 3)
Another way:
- 4(3a - 4) = 56
- 12a - 16 = 56 (distributive property)
- 12a = 72 (moving like terms)
- a = 6 (dividing by 12)
Distributive Property of Multiplication:
The process of distributing the outside factor to the terms in the parenthesis.
Example:
Answer:
58240
Step-by-step explanation:
1425 ------ 45600
1820 ------ x
1425*x = 1425x
45600*1820 = 82992000
1425x = 82992000
82992000/1425 = x
58240 = x
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
4x - 5y = 18 → (1)
3x - 2y = 10 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 4, then adding will eliminate the x- term
12x - 15y = 54 → (3)
- 12x + 8y = - 40 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x, that is
- 7y = 14 ( divide both sides by - 7 )
y = - 2
Substitute y = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
4x - 5(- 2) = 18
4x + 10 = 18 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 2
solution is (2, - 2 ) → D
Answer:
11 red + 24 blue = 35 marbles
If 1 blue is withdrawn
11 red + 23 blue = 34 marbles
P = 23 / 34 = .38 probability of drawing blue marble
