Answer:

a = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−296=−8(8a+5)

−296=(−8)(8a)+(−8)(5)

−296=−64a+−40

−296=−64a−40

Flip the equation

−64a−40=−296

Add 40 to both sides

−64a−40+40=−296+40

−64a=−256

Divide both sides by -64

(−64a ) / (−64) = (−256) / (−64)

a = 4

Answer:

An equation like 2x + 3 = 7 is a simple type called a linear equation in one ... There are other types of equations, however, that can have several solutions. ... to solve an equation algebraically and you end up with an obvious identity (like 3 = 3)

Use the points (2,-5) and (-1,4) and determine the slope using the slope formula

Rama09 [41]

(2,-5),(-1,4)
slope = (4 - (-5) / (-1 - 2) = (4 + 5) / -3 = -9/3 = -3 <==

The drama club collected $160 from ticket sales for the spring play. They need to collect at least $400 to pay for new lighting

valentina_108 [34]

We assume all money is spent on new lighting. Since they currently have $160 and need $400 we can subtract what they currently have from what they need.

$400-$160 = $240

Since we know the price of the ticket and now know they need $240 we can divide our $240 with the price of each ticket ($3)

$240/$3 = 80

So the drama club has to sell 80 more tickets in order to afford new lighting
