Answer:

-40 = a

Step-by-step explanation:

-2=6+a/5

  • Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

-8 = a/5

  • Multiply both sides by 5

(5)-8 = a/5(5)

-40 = a

Answer:

a = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

  • -2 = 6 + \frac{a}{5}
  • -2 = 6 + \frac{1}{5}a
  • -2 = \frac{1}{5}a + 6
  • \frac{1}{5}a + 6 = -2

Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.

  • \frac{1}{5}a + 6 - 6 = -2 -6
  • \frac{1}{5}a = -8

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 5.

  • \frac{1}{5}a * 5 = -8 * 5
  • a = -40

Therefore, a = -40. I hope this helped you!

Find the slope of a line whose equation is 3X+6Y=9
Lisa [10]

To find the slope of the above equation, it is easiest to put it into slope-intercept form, y=mx + b, where the variable m represents the slope. To do this, we must isolate the variable y on the left side of the equation by using the reverse order of operations. First, we should subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.

3x + 6y = 9

6y = -3x + 9

Next, we should divide both sides of the equation by 6 to undo the coefficent of 6 on the variable y.

y = -1/2x + 3/2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -1/2 (the coefficient of the variable x in slope-intercept form).

Hope this helps!

Please help me this is due in less than 45 minutes!
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

1.) It's 20th century painting

2.) 0.5 probability

Step-by-step explanation:

If the universal = 60

We need to first get the value of X. That is,

x (x - 2) + x + 2x + 8 + 10 = 60

First open the bracket

x^2 - 2x + x + 2x + 8 + 10 = 60

x^2 + x + 18 = 60

x^2 + x - 42 = 0

Factorise the above equation

x^2 + 7x - 6x - 42 = 0

x (x + 7) -6(x + 7) = 0

x = 6 or - 7

Since x can't be negative, so we will ignore -7

The value for T = 6(6 - 2) = 6×4 = 24

The value for B = 2(6) + 8 = 12 + 8 = 20

If a painting is chosen from random,

If it's from 20th century, the probability will be 34/60 = 0.567

If it's from British painting, the probability will be 30/60 = 0.5

We can therefore conclude that it's from 20th century painting since it has higher value of probability.

The the probability of choosing a British painting will be 30/60 = 0.5
