Answer:

B. a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a

Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis.

3a - 12 + 1 = 9 - a

Add -12 and 1.

3a - 11 = 9 - a

Add a to both sides.

4a - 11 = 9

Add 11 to both sides.

4a = 20

Divide both sides by 4.

a = 5.

Proof:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a

Substitute variable.

3(5 - 4) + 1 = 9 - 5

Subtract inside parenthesis.

3(1) + 1 = 9 - 5

Multiply 3 and 1.

3 + 1 = 9 - 5

Add 3 and 1.

4 = 9 - 5

Subtract 5 from 9.

4 = 4.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two variables are proportional then

$y\propto x$

$y=kx$ ...(i)

where, k is constant of proportionality.

The given equation is

$s=4c$ ...(ii)

where,

s = number of cups of seltzer.

c = cups of cranberry juice.

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

Independent variable: $x=c$

Dependent variable: $y=s$

Constant of proportionality: $k=4$

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 4.

elena55 [62]

the arrow touches the ground when the heigth is 0

so we need to replace h=0 and solve for t

$\begin{gathered} h=17t-5t^2 \\ 0=17t-5t^2 \\ 0=t(17-5t) \\ 0=17-5t \\ 5t=17 \\ t=\frac{17}{5}=3.4 \end{gathered}$

the arrow tuches the ground at 3.4 seconds

$F=m\times a$

replacing

$185=m\times13.7$

solve for m

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{185}{13.7} \\ \\ m=13.50 \end{gathered}$

the mass is 13.50Kg
