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

1 answer:

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!

It's 75. After you wrote down all the possibilities for what G could be, just find the one that has a combination of numbers that add up to 12. 75 is 7+5=12

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B3 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-2%2F3 and the y-intercept is b=3

Since b=3 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point

Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means

slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is -2%2F3, this means:

rise%2Frun=-2%2F3

which shows us that the rise is -2 and the run is 3. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 2 and over 3

So starting at , go down 2 units

and to the right 3 units to get to the next point

Now draw a line through these points to graph y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B3

So this is the graph of y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B3 through the points and
