<span>9a + -3(2a + -4) = 15
Reorder the terms:
9a + -3(-4 + 2a) = 15
9a + (-4 * -3 + 2a * -3) = 15
9a + (12 + -6a) = 15
Reorder the terms:
12 + 9a + -6a = 15
Combine like terms: 9a + -6a = 3a
12 + 3a = 15
Solving
12 + 3a = 15
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + 3a = 15 + -12
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 3a = 15 + -12
3a = 15 + -12
Combine like terms: 15 + -12 = 3
3a = 3
Divide each side by '3'.
a = 1
Simplifying
a = 1</span>
5^-2=1/5^2=1/25
2^-4=1/2^4=1/16
5^3=5*5*5=125
2^5=2*2*2*2*2=32
Hope this helped :)
Answer:
<h3>C. (a, b)</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of a midpoint:
We have A(0, 0) and C(2a, 2b). Substitute:
M(a, b)
Total price = Original price + (original price * sales tax decimal)
Total price = 10000 + (10000 * 0.075)
= 10000 + 750
Your price on the car is 10,750
