What value makes 3(a+1.5)= -1.5 true

Mathematics
1 answer:
Reika [66]3 years ago
3 0
First, write the equation:
3(a+1.5) = -1.5
Next, you can distribute 3 into the parentheses by multiplying 3 by a and 1.5. It should look like this:
3a + 4.5 = -1.5
When trying to find the value of a variable, you want to get the variable to one side of the equation by itself. Subtract 4.5 from both sides of the equation to get:
3a = -6
Now, divide both sides by 3 to get your final answer:
a= -2
The value that makes the equation true is -2
Hope this helped!

(-3x)²-(3x-2)²-6*(2x-1.5)
Ilya [14]
Without the instructions, I can only assume that you are to "expand the given expression."

Following order of operations rules requires that (3x-2)^2 and -6(2x-1.5) be evaluated first.

(3x-2)^2 = 9x^2 - 12x + 4   and    -6(2x-1.5) = -12x + 9

Then we have 9x^2 - (9x^2 - 12x + 4) -12x + 9

the 9x^2 terms cancel, leaving  us with 12x - 4 - 12x + 9 = 5 (answer)

PLSS HELPPP!!! IN ORDER TO RECIEVE A BRAINLY, ANSWER QUICKLY AND CORRECTLY, AND MOST OF ALL, GIVE AN EXPLANATION!!! TYSM IN ADVA
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A. {−3.5, −2, 1, 2.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the range is the possible values for Y in any given function, so in this case, we are given the Y values and we have to solve the function for x:

y=9+6x

6x=y-9

So we just insert the values, the first one being -12.

So since from the options only A has -3.5 as an option that's the correct answer.

hoped this helped! <3
