What is the value of a in the equation -1/4 a -5=5-2?

Mathematics

Answer:

-32

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/4a-5=5-2

add 5 to both sides to cancel the negative five on the left side.

-1/4a-5+5=5-2+5

-1/4a=8

multiply the equation by -4 to get the a just by itself

-4(-1/4)a=8(-4)

a=-32

Hope that helps :)

The product of three integers x, x+2, and x-5 is 240. What are the integers?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

  8, 10, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For finding real solutions to cubic equations and those of higher degree, I find a graphing calculator to be useful. The problem can be cast in the form ...

  f(x) = 0

where f(x) is the difference between the product of the integers and 240:

  f(x) = x(x +2)(x -5) -240

Then all we need to do is ask the calculator to show the x-intercept. It is x=8.

So, the three integers are ...

  • x = 8
  • x+2 = 10
  • x -5 = 3
