25 total marbles, 17 red plus green, so id say d) 68%
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
The signs didn't really "swap". Instead, the whole function was divided by -1, or we could say the function was divided by -3. That would turn:
-18x² - 15x + 3 = 0
into
(-18 / -3)x² - (15 / -3)x + (3 / -3) = 0
6x² + 5x - 1 = 0
And that gives the "swapped signs".
To solve for this, we need to use the Distributive Property, which allows us to multiply the number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all numbers/variables inside of the parenthesis. Once we've done that, we can attempt to simplify the equation.
Our current equation is:
7a + 3(9+5a) = 0
Let's use the Distributive Property.
3(9 + 5a)
3(9) + 3(5a)
27 + 15a
Our current equation now is:
7a + 27 + 15a = 0
Combine like-terms.
15a + 7a = 22a
22a + 27 (If this is not being solved, THIS is your answer as an expression)
Subtract 27 from both sides
22a = -27
Divide both sides by 22 to get a.
a = -27/22.
If we are not solving for a, but getting an expression, your answer is:
22a + 27.
If we are solving for a, our answer is:
a = -27/22.
