Answer:
a = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
2(a-7)=a+4
Distribute 2 into left side: 2a -14 = a + 4
subtract a from both sides 2a-a-14 = a+4-a
Simplify: a - 14 = 4
Add 14 to both sides: a - 14 + 14 = 4 +14
Simplify: a = 18
If wanted, plug a into original to double check work:
plug in: 2 (18-7) = 18+4
do parenthesis first: 2 (11) = 18+4
do multiplication : 22 = 18+4
additions: 22 =22
a = 18 is correct.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 4) (x - 3)
x^2 - 3x - 4x + 12 (you distribute x in (x-4) to each of the terms x and -3 and multiply them. x*x is x^2 and x*(-3) is -3x. Then, you distribute -4 in (x-4) to each of the terms x and -3 and multiply them. -4*x is -4x and -4*-3 is 12)
x^2 - 7x + 12 (B)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Density</u>
The density of an object of mass m and volume V is given by

It can be expressed in common units like
or any other combination of proper mass [M] by volume [V] units.
The data provided in the question is


Thus, the measured density is


We have expressed the result with 1 decimal place because the mass was measured to the nearest hundred milligrams (or one-tenth grams). Any further decimal is senseless because that precision comes from calculations, not from measurements.
Using the formula for the circumference of a circle:
2 x 100 x 3.14=628ft
