Answer:

a=-36

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6(a+12)=-4

1) Distribute <u>1/6</u> to a and 12:

1/6a+2=-4

2) Subtract 2 from both sides:

1/6a=-6

3) Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/6: (6/1)

a=-36

Let me know if you have any confusion on how I reached the solution :)

The area of a rectangle is 5/8 meter. The length of the garden is 1/5 meter. What is the width of the rectangle?

Afina-wow [57]

Width of rectangle is $Width=\frac{25}{8} meters$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = $\frac{5}{8}$

Length of garden = $\frac{1}{5}$

Width of rectangle = ?

Using the Formula:

Area = Length * Width

Putting values and finding width:

$\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1}{5}*Width\\ Width=\frac{5}{8}\div\frac{1}{5}\\Width=\frac{5}{8}*\frac{5}{1}\\Width=\frac{25}{8} meters$

So, width of rectangle is $Width=\frac{25}{8} meters$

How many 1 3/4 inches are there in 35 inches?
Or in math talk:

35" ÷ 1 3/4
The answer is that 20 books will fit on the shelf.
I used a calculator and used 1.75 instead of 1 3/4

Log_c(A)=2<br> log_c(B)=5, <br> solve log_c(A^5B^3)

vlabodo [156]

We know that $\log_a(bc)=\log_a(b)+\log_a(c)$ .

Using this rule,

$\log_c(A^5B^3)=\log_c(A^5)+\log_c(B^3)$ .

We also know that $\log_c(a^b)=b\log_c(a)$ .

Using this rule,

$\log_c(A^5)+\log_c(B^3)=5\log_c(A)+3\log_c(B)$

Now we know that $\log_c(A)=2,\log_c(B)=5$ so,

$5\cdot2+3\cdot5=10+15=\boxed{25}$ .

Hope this helps :)
