Add 12 to both sides resulting in 5a = 60 and then divide both sides by 5 which results in a = 12 so your answer will be a = 12
Answer:
(x+8) ^2=64
Step-by-step explanation:
that will give you your two solutions: x= -16 and x=0. I hope this helps!!!
Let named variables as you said g- guinea pigs and c- chinchillas
System of equation is:
First is: c+ g = 60,005
Second is: c= 2g+5
When we replace second in first we get:
2g+5+g = 60,005 => 3g+5= 60,005 => 3g= 60,000
g=60.000/3 = 20,000 => g=20,000
When this result we replace in the second equation we get
c= 2 * 20,000 +5= 40,000+5 = 40,005
c= 40,005
Good luck!!!!
Answer:
B) 34/48
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest common denominator to find is the product of the denominators you have.
__
The difference is ...

__
<em>Additional comment</em>
The difference numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so can be reduced to 17/24. The denominator 24 could have been used as the common denominator from the start.
5/6 -1/8 = 20/24 -3/24 = 17/24 . . . . reduced result
__
Using the <em>least common denominator</em> does not always result in a reduced sum or difference. If some other denominator is used (as here), then you can be assured that the result will need to be reduced to get to lowest terms.
