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 :)

yes. Machine A pops 42.5 ounces of popcorn in 10 minutes. Machine B pops 45 ounces of popcorn in 10 minutes. Add the two to get 87.5 ounces. 8 times 9 is 72 which is less than 87.5 ounces

True [87]

Answer:

School needs to collect at least 144 box tops each day to meet their goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total requirement of box tops = 2,000

The number of box tops they have already received = 872

So, the box tops left = Total number required- Number of tops received

                                  =2,000 - 872

                                   = 1,128 box tops are left so far.

Number of days left = 8

So, number of minimum tops needed each day = \frac{\textrm{Total tops required}}{\textrm{Number of days left}}

                                                = \frac{1128}{8} = 141

Hence, they need to collect at least 144 box tops each day to meet their goal.
