Answer:
a=-13
Step-by-step explanation:
16−5a+2a−1=41−a
16-1-41 = 5a-2a-a
-26 = 2a
a= -26/2
a=-13
D.8
A and C are out because they would get you ether lower or equal to 20, which is equal to AC and your trying to find X in AB which is so posed to be the what equals AC+BC.
AB=AC+BC
5x=20+BC
5(8)=20+BC
40=20+BC
40=20+20
AC equals 20. AB will have to equal AC+ CB. If you put in A.4 in AB 5X you will get twenty and that not what you want. You want to get a number that will get you the an answer greater to AC. So 5(8)=40.
For the answer to the question above, the easiest way to determine is changing every runner's speed into the same unit.
<span>First = 10 m/s </span>
<span>Second = 10 miles/min = 16090.34 / 60 m/s (As 1 mile = 1609.34 meter and 1 min = 60 sec) </span>
<span>Second = 260.82 m/s </span>
<span>Third = 10 cm/hr = 10*(0.01)/60*60 (As 1 cm = 0.01 m and 1 hr = 60*60 sec) </span>
<span>Third = 0.000028 m/s </span>
<span>Fourth = 10 km/sec = 10*1000 m/s (As 1 km = 1000 m and time is already in sec) </span>
<span>Fourth = 10000 m/s </span>
<span>So fastest would be the one who covers the largest distance in 1 sec. It would be the fourth one.</span>
Distributive property. -6 x a plus -8 x 8 = -6a -48
