Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Add '-2a' to each side of the equation.

5a + -2a = -6 + 2a + -2a

Combine like terms: 5a + -2a = 3a

3a = -6 + 2a + -2a

Combine like terms: 2a + -2a = 0

3a = -6 + 0

3a = -6

Divide each side by '3'.

a = -2

Simplifying

a = -2

tatuchka [14]
In order to find out the answer for this, let us try to analyze the question. Since it is given that 6240 pounds is the total weight of her 5 horses and t represents the weight of each tack per horse, the inequality that could be used to determine the weight of tack Cari can allow for each horse would be this: <span>6240+5t≤8000
6240+5t indicates the total weight, and that this weight does not exceed 8000. Hope this answer helps.</span>

The ratio is supposed to be pennies to total amount of coins. The total amount of coins--including pennies--is 16. This can be proven by this equation:

5 + 6 + 5 = 16

Now you put the ratio together by taking the amount of pennies (5) and total amount of coins (16). Your ratio should look like this:

5:16
