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 :)

What is 76/10 in a mixed number??
cestrela7 [59]
A mixed number is in the form x y/z while a improper fraction (76/10) is in the form y/z. We can separate the fraction into two parts. One is 70/10 which = 7 and the other is 6/10 which simplifies to 3/5. So, in order to express 76/10 as a mixed number we must express it as 7 3/5 or 7 6/10. 7 3/5 is equal to 7 6/10.

I hope this helped you!

A picture inside a frame is 2 inches longer than it is wide. The picture is in a frame that has a width of 3 inches on each side
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The dimensions of the frame are 15 in x 13 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of the picture

y ----> the width of the picture

we know that

x=2+y -----> equation A

The area of the picture, including the frame is

A=(x+6)(y+6)

A=195\ in^2

so

195=(x+6)(y+6) ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

195=(2+y+6)(y+6)

solve for y

195=(y+8)(y+6)\\y^2+6y+8y+48=195\\\\y^2+14y-147=0

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is y=7 in

see the attached figure

<em>Find the value of x</em>

x=2+7=9\ in

Find the dimensions of the frame

x+6=9+6=15\ in

y+6=7+6=13\ in

therefore

The dimensions of the frame are 15 in x 13 in
