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!

Determinet the x-intercept for 3x+2y=14
DerKrebs [107]

The x-intercept is for y = 0.

Put y = 0 to the equation of a line 3x + 2y = 14

3x+2(0)=14\\\\3x=14\qqud\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{14}{3}\to\left(\dfrac{14}{3};\ 0\right)}

The perimeter of this Hexagon is 162 cm. Each longer side measures 1 cm more than twice a shorter side. Find the length of the l
Elis [28]
Let x represent the shorter sides, then 2x + 1 would represent the longer sides. There are four short sides and two long sides. The perimeter is 162 cm. The equation: 4x + 2(2x + 1) = 162 4x + 8x + 2 = 162 8x + 2 = 162 Subtract 2 from both sides. 8x = 160 Divide both sides by 8. x = 20 The shorter sides are 20 cm in length. The longer sides are 2x + 1, or 41 cm in length. Check: 4 * 20 + 2 * 41 = 162 80 + 82 = 162 162 = 162, values check.
