Answer:
a = (-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly clear the bracket...,
-6(-2 + a) = 12 - 6a
Then substitute the simplified version in place of bracket...,
; 12 - 6a = 54
; -6a = 54 - 12
; -6a = 42...then divide both sides by (-6)
Therefore...., a = (-7)
Answer:
-n+m
Step-by-step explanation:
beans
To solve for how many miles Rachel jogged if she jogged a 1/4 mile trail 8 times, we simply need to multiply the distance she ran each time by the amount of times she ran it.
1/4 * 8 = 2
Rachel jogged 2 miles.
Hope that helped =)
Answer:
r = 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula
Sum of an infinite geometric series = a / (1 - r)
Givens
Sum = 5*a
a = a
r = ?
Solution
5a = a/(1 - r) Divide both sides by a
5a/a = a / (a * (1 - r) The a's on the right cancel
5 = 1 / (1 - r) Multiply both sides by 1 - r
5*(1 - r) = 1*(1 - r)/(1 - r) The 1 - r s on the right cancel
5*(1 - r) = 1 Remove the brackets.
5 - 5r = 1 Subtract 5 from both sides
5-5 - 5r = 1 - 5 Combine
-5r = - 4 Divide by - 5
r = 4/5
