3 0

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 :)

For all parts of this question, use the function y + 2 = 3(x + 4)
vekshin1

i would start by simplifying the equation to get y by itself, you don't need to do this, but it makes it a little easier

y + 2 = 3 ( x + 4) distribute the 3 through the parenthesis

y + 2 = 3x + 12. subtract 2 from both sides

y = 3x +10

now to fill in the chart simply plug in the value of x to see what value of y it produces

y = 3(-2) +10

y = -6+10

y = 4

(-2,4)

y = 3(0) + 10

y = 0 + 10

y = 10

(0,10)

y = 3(2)+10

y = 6 + 10

y = 16

(2,16)

y = 3(4) + 10

y = 12 + 10

y = 22

(4,22)

C and d are complementary. The measure of c is 4x and the measure of d is 26. What is the value of x
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The value of x is 16.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

c and d are complementary angles.

Measure of c = 4x

Measure of d = 26

Since c and d are complementary, we can write from property of complementary:

c + d = 90

Putting values, we get,

4x + 26 =90\\4x = 90-26 = 64\\\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{64}{4} = 16

Thus, value of x is 16.

Answer:

  3/7 acres per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

To find acres mowed per hour, divide acres mowed by hours:

  (3/4 ac)/(1 3/4 h) = (3/4)/(7/4) ac/h = 3/7 ac/h

Ginger's unit rate is 3/7 acres per hour.

a rectangle has a length of 3.6 in. and a perimeter of 16.8 in. enter the width of the rectangle, in decimal form, in the box.
arsen [322]
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all the side lengths of the rectangle. For a rectangle, we two lengths and two widths so the perimeter can be calculated as:

P = 2l + 2w

We can use this formula to calculate for the width.

16.8 = 2(3.6) + 2w
w = (16.8 - 2(3.6)) / 2
w = 4.8 in
