Answer:

A = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

8a-4=-10a+50

8a-4+4=-10a+50+4

8a=-10a+54

8a+10a=-10a+54+10a

18a=54

54 / 18 = 3

<u>A = 3</u>

The answer would be a=3. to put it more clear, multiply the number outside of the parenthesis. so for example 4•2a is 8a, and 4•-1 is -4. since the -4 has no variable, it would just be 8a-4. next, the -10 times a positive a would be -10a. a positive times a negative is negative. next, do -10•-5 which is positive 50. remember, a negative times a negative is positive! after this, take the 8a-4=-10a+50 and add the constant and the variable (-10a) by the 8a. ALWAYS go right to left when subtracting or adding. you should get 18a. so 18a-4=50. take the negative four and add a positive four because you need to make the sides equal, add the four to 50, and you should get 18a=54. lastly, 54/18 is 3! so, A=3

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the sides of both polygons and equate.

(20)

x + 4 + x + 2 + x + 5 = 2(x + 1) + 2(x + 3) ← distribute parenthesis

3x + 11 = 2x + 2 + 2x + 6

3x + 11 = 4x + 8 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

11 = x + 8 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

3 = x

(21)

5(12x) = x + 7 + 6x + 9 + x + 10

60x = 8x + 26 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

52x = 26 ( divide both sides by 52 )

x = \frac{26}{52} = \frac{1}{2}

Two pieces of lengths 13/3 m and 3/5 m are cut off from a rope 15
garri49 [273]

Hello there! ;) The way you solve this type of problem is you must find common denominators. So simplify 13/3= 4 1/3. So we can do 1/3*5/5=5/15. Next we must do 3/5*3/3= 9/15. So add 5/15+9/15= 14/15. And add the 4+ 14/15=          4 14/15. So then you must subtract 15 - 4 14/15= 10 1/15 I believe. I believe 10 1/15 is the remainder of the rope. You might want to check in with someone else though.

Hope I help! :D
