Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify 5a - 9 + a to 6a - 9.

$6a - 9 = 9$

$6a = 9 + 9$

3) Simplify 9 + 9 to 18.

$6a = 18$

4) Divide both sides by 6.

$a = \frac{18}{6}$

5) Simplify 18/6 to 3.

$a = 3$

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

300 divided by 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Number of crates of apple owned by fruit seller = 3 crates

Number of apples in each crate = 100 apples

He packed 6 apples in 1 box;

Unknown:

Number of boxes needed to pack all the apples = ?

This problem is pretty straight forward;

Number boxes needed to pack all apples = $\frac{Number of crates owned by fruit seller x number of apples per crate}{Number of apples per box}$

Input the parameters and solve;

Number of boxes need to pack all apples = $\frac{100 x 3}{6}$ = $\frac{300}{6}$

So the solution is 300 divided by 6
