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 :)

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Multiply the first equation by -3:  -6x - 3y = 12

2) Substitute 2x + 12 for -3y in the above equation, obtaining:

-6x + 2x + 12 = 12

Then -4x = 0, and x = 0.  Letting x = 0 in the first equation, we get:

0 + y = -4, so y = -4.

The x-value at the intersection of the lines is zero (0).

That intersection is at (0, -4).

39. Tugboat A and Tugboat B are pulling a barge. Each tugboat is connected to the barge via a
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

26.903^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 77 m

b = 72 m

c = Distance between the tugboats = 35 m

m\angle C = Angle between the cables

c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C\\\Rightarrow m\angle C=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{c^2-a^2-b^2}{-2ab}\\\Rightarrow m\angle C=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{35^2-77^2-72^2}{-2\times 77\times 72}\\\Rightarrow m\angle C=26.903^{\circ}

The angle formed between the cables is 26.903^{\circ}.
