First bring all terms in 'a' to the left side of the formula by subtracting ac from both sides

ab - ac - cd = ac - ac 
ab - ac - cd = 0
now add cd to both sides
ab - ac -cd + cd = cd
ab - ac = cd
now factor the left side by taking out the 'a' 
a(b-c) = cd
now divide both sides by (b-c)
a = cd / (b-c)
done

the school store has1200 pendls in stock and sells and sells an average of 25 pencils per day the manager reorders when the numb
forsale [732]

Answer:

Number of pencils in stock = 1200

Average number of pencils sold by the manager per day = 24

Number of pencils that would be sold before reordering = 1200 - 500

                                                                                        = 700

Then

The number of days after which the manager will reorder = 700/24

                                                                                            = 29.16

So the manager has to reorder after about 30 days. Since the answer comes in fraction of more than 29 days, so it has to be 30 days. I hope the procedure is clear for your understanding.

Just to be clear, this answer is not mine, but I remember seeing this question so I just copied someones' answer. Still, you might find this helpful.

Solve and check:8a-4=25+6(a-8)
OlgaM077 [116]
8a - 4 = 25 + 6 (a - 8)

(distribute the 6)

8a - 4 = 25 + 6a - 48

(combine like terms 25 - 48)

8a - 4 = 6a - 23

( subtract 6a from both sides)

2a - 4 = -23

(add 4 to both sides)

2a = -19

(divide both sides by 2)

a = - 9.5

////CHECK/////

8 (-9.5) - 4 = 25 + 6 ( -9.5 -8)

(plug each side into a calculator)

-80 = -80

FINAL ANSWER:

a = -9.5

The length of a rectangle is 10 meters more than the width. If 3 meters is added to both the length and the width, the new area
Finger [1]

Answer:

L = 20

W = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

L = (w + 10)

NL = (w + 13)

Divide 299 by 13:

299 ÷ 13 = 23

So, 23 x 13 = 299

L = 23

W = 13

Subtract 3 from both to get the original length and width
