Answer:
a=-0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Distributive property for left side, difference of squares for right side.
8a-9a^2=-40+36-9a^2
-9a^2 cancels out
8a=-4
a=-0.5
Youre correect answer is 70
Answer
x - 15 = 18
Explanation
X is the variable that is required to get the answer 18
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
5x = 3x + 6
5x - 3x = 6
2x = 6
x = 6/2
x = 3
Answer:
a) 3/12 = 1/4
b) 6/12 = 1/2
c) 9/12 = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance traveled by the hour hand, subtract the beginning position from the ending position. For example, in a, the distance traveled between 4:00 and 7:00 is three hours. Since there are 12 total hours on a clock, the fraction would be 3/12 (traveled/whole revolution). Simplify further to get 1/4.
The other two problems are very similar to the explanation above. Treat the second problem's ending time as 14:00, since it is two hours after 12:00.
Hope this helps!
