Here is how I would show the work for this problem
5- (a-4) = 3 (a+2)
5-a+4 = 3*a+3*2
5-a+4 = 3a+6
-a+9 = 3a+6
-a+9+a = 3a+6+a
9 = 4a+6
9-6 = 4a+6-6
3 = 4a
4a = 3
4a/4 = 3/4
a = 3/4
So the solution is the fraction a = 3/4 (in decimal form 0.75)
Let me know if you have any questions or issues with any of the steps shown above. It's a lot to take in so feel free to ask about anything really.
Not to seem rude, but you might have better luck in Business. Unless someone here know accounting lol
The answer is independent
Answer:
d and e
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor 4x² + 17x - 15
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term, that is
product = 4 × - 15 = - 60 and sum = + 17
The factors are + 20 and - 3
Use these factors to split the middle term
4x² + 20x - 3x - 15 ( factor by grouping the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 4x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) ( take out the common factor (x + 5) )
= (x + 5)(4x - 3) → d/e
