Answer:
a = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
-(5a+6)=2(3a+8)
-5a -6 = 2*3a +2*8
-5a -6 = 6a +16
-5a -6a = 16+6
-11a = 22
a= -22/11
a = -2
Answer:
C. 60° and 80°
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of triangle = 180°
Therefore,
8x + 4 + 6x - 2 + 10x + 10 = 180
Add like terms
8x + 6x + 10x + 4 - 2 + 10 = 180
24x + 12 = 180
24x = 180 - 12
24x = 168
x = 168/24
x = 7
Find each measure of the angles by substitute x = 7 into each expression
8x + 4 = 8(7) + 4 = 60°
6x - 2 = 6(7) - 2 = 40°
10x + 10 = 10(7) + 10 = 80°
The answer is 60° and 80°
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
9/16 is equal to 0.5625
. The closest number to this is 0.5 which is the same as 1/2
Well you need first 1 2/4 of a yard. Then you will need 5/6 of a yard. But first you need to put them together. So we need to find the common denominator. Six and four both share which multiple? Twelve. So let's rewrite that. You need 1 6/12 yards + 10/12 yards of wrapping paper. But before we do anything else we need to fix the mixed number. 1 6/12 isn't as easy to add ad 18/12 is. So 18/12 + 10/12 = 28/12
That can simplify as well. Now it's 14/6 which is equivalent to the fraction we had before. But it can also go down to 2 2/6. Now we can simplify it even further. By dividing it by two we can get 2 1/3. These are the measurements we need. So you would need how many thirds? Seven. (2 1/3 is seven thirds) This is your final answer.
You would need to have seven peices of wrapping paper cut to wrap both gift boxes.
