The answer is a = 
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>1. Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction</em>
To find the numerator, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator to it.
The denominator remains the same.
So, 2
will be 
<em>2. Now the equation is,</em>
a -
a =
+
a
<em>3. Take LCM on both sides. </em>
For the left side, multiply the first fraction by
and multiply the second fraction by 
a -
a = 
<em>4. Solve by making a the subject</em>
= 
= 
=10+8a
= 10 + 8a
a = 2(10 + 8a)
a = 20 + 16a
a-16a = 20
-15a = 20
a = 
a = 
Therefore, the answer is a =

Answer:
x= -1/2 and x=2/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Write the 7x as a difference. It'll make it easier to factor out. An example of this would be 11x-4x
Therefore, the equation would look like this: 22x^2 + 11x-4x -2 =0
Look at it as if there are two equations: 22x^2+11x and -4x-2
Factor out the greatest common factor, which is 11 from the first equation. The equation will then look like this: 11x(2x+1)
Take the GCF for the second equation as well (which is -2). The equation should then also look like this: (2x+1)
Use the numbers on the outside of each of the parenthesis to form its own equation (to factor it out). This will be 11x-2
Now we have factored! Since the parenthesis equations are the same, we know that that is also part of the equation, so:
(11x-2)(2x+1)
Solve each equation for x by equaling them both to zero
The dashed line is because the sign is greater than to be a solid line it has to be equal to or greater than and to the shading means any point on there works for the equation easiest way to test where you should shade is by plugging into the equation the point (0,0)
1/8 is 12.5% so it is bigger than 12%
