REFUGEES BOOK HELP ME Compare and contrast Isabel's point of view on leaving Cuba to that of her grandfather, Lito's. How do their opposing view cause tension in the story?
If you would like to know for how many days will 1/2 of a bag of dog food last, you can calculate this using the following steps:
1 day ... 3 bags of dog food
x days = ? ... 1/2 of a bag of dog food
1 * 1/2 = 3 * x
1/2 = 3 * x /3
x = 1/2 * 1/3
x = 1/6 of a day
The correct result would be 1/6 of a day.
Simplify:
5(a + 5) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)
Reorder the terms:
5(5 + a) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)
(5 * 5 + a * 5) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)
(25 + 5a) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)
Reorder the terms again:
25 + -3 + 5a = 3(2 + -1a)
Combine like terms:
]25 + -3 = 22
22 + 5a = 3(2 + -1a)
22 + 5a = (2 * 3 + -1a * 3)
22 + 5a = (6 + -3a)
Solve:
22 + 5a = 6 + -3a
To solve for variable 'a':
You have to move all terms containing A to the left, all other terms to the right.
Then add '3a' to each side of the equation:
22 + 5a + 3a = 6 + -3a + 3a
Combine like terms:
5a + 3a = 8a
22 + 8a = 6 + -3a + 3a
Combine like terms again:
-3a + 3a = 0
22 + 8a = 6 + 0
22 + 8a = 6
Add '-22' to each side of the equation.:
22 + -22 + 8a = 6 + -22
Combine like terms:
22 + -22 = 0
0 + 8a = 6 + -22
8a = 6 + -22
Combine like terms once more:
6 + -22 = -16
8a = -16
Divide each side by '8'.
a = -2
Simplify:
a = -2
Answer: a=-2
Hope I could help! :)
