Answer:

a = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

you can solve this proportion by cross-multiplying:

4(a + 9) = -1(a + 4)

now distribute to eliminate parentheses

4a + 36 = -1a - 4

5a + 36 = -4

Round 1.0649 to the nearest thousandth
ira [324]
1.0649 to the nearest thousandths is 1.065

You could get this by finding where the thousandths place is, which is the third number.
Now, look at the number to the right. 
If it's 5 or higher, round up. 
If it's 4 or lower, round down.

Since it is 9, we round up.
The 4 turns into a 5.

So, 1.065

1) A basket of apples are given to a group of students. If 3 apples are given to each student, there will be 8 apples left. If 5
sattari [20]

Answer:

1) either 5 or 6 students in the group

2) 6 rooms are booked

Step-by-step explanation:

1) x students  

3x + 8 = apples

5 (x-1) + y (the one get less than 5 apples)

3x + 8 = 5 (x - 1) + y

3x + 8 = 5x - 5 + y

2x + y = 13

X       1       2      3      4      5      6

Y       11      9      7      5      3       1

because y < 5 so x = 5 or x = 6

2) x rooms are booked

4x + 20   total students

8 (x-1) + y (the students in room not full))

4x + 20 = 8 (x-1) + y

4x + 20 = 8x - 8 + y

4x + y = 28

X       1       2      3      4      5      6

Y       24    20    16    12     8      4

y < 8 answer is 6 rooms

There are four times as many girls in a chemistry class as there are boys. if there are 45 students in the class, how many boys
puteri [66]
In order to determine the number of boys in the class, first, we set-up an algebraic equation. Let x = number of boys in the class. The equation is then: x + 4x = 45. This is because the number of girls is 4 times greater than the number of boys. After solving the algebraic equation, it is then determined that there are 9 boys in the Chemistry class.
