A + 2c - 5b - c + a - b
We're gonna have to combine like terms.

(a+a)+(-5b-b)+(2c-c)

2a-6b+c This is your answer

The answer is a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction

To find the numerator, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator to it.

The denominator remains the same.

So, 2 $\frac{2}{3}$ will be $\frac{8}{3}$

2. Now the equation is,

$\frac{3}{2}$ a - $\frac{4}{3}$ a = $\frac{10}{3}$ + $\frac{8}{3}$ a

3. Take LCM on both sides.

For the left side, multiply the first fraction by $\frac{3}{3}$ and multiply the second fraction by $\frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{3*3}{2*3}$ a - $\frac{4*3}{3*3}$ a = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

4. Solve by making a the subject

$\frac{9a-8a}{6}$ = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

$\frac{a}{6}$ = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

$\frac{3a}{6}$ =10+8a

$\frac{a}{2}$ = 10 + 8a

a = 2(10 + 8a)

a = 20 + 16a

a-16a = 20

-15a = 20

a = $\frac{20}{-15}$

a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

Therefore, the answer is a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

The function f(x) = 4(4)x represents the growth of a fly population every year in a remote swamp. Jackie wants to manipulate the

Sauron [17]

The function f(x) = 4(4)x represents the growth of a fly population every year in a remote swamp.

calculates three times a year, not just once a year.

$f(x)= 4(4)^x$

3 times a year

so x becomes 3x

$f(x)= 4(1+r)^{3x}$

$4(4)^x=4(1+r)^{3x}$

Take log on both sides

$log(4)^x=log(1+r)^{3x}$

Use log property and move exponent before log

$xlog(4)=3xlog(1+r)}$

Divide both sides by x

log 4 = 3 log(1+r)

Solve for '1+r'

log 4 = log(1+r)^3

Remove log from both sides

4 = (1+r)^3

take cube root on both sides

1.584740= 1+r

1+r = 1.59

$f(x)= 4(1+r)^{3x}$

so equation becomes

$f(x)= 4(1.59)^{3x}$

1+r = 1.59

subtract 1 from both sides

So r= 59 = 59%

So growth factor is 59%

Tom is mailing packages. Each small package costs him $3.30 to send. Each large package costs him $4.30 . How much will it cost

Kazeer [188]

3.30 x 5 = 16.50
4.30 x 7 = 30.10
30.10 + 16.50 = $46.60
