Hi there! Thanks for asking a question here on Brainly. 

Step 1: We need to simplify both sides of the equation.

⚫ <span><span><span><span>5a</span>−15</span>+<span>9a</span></span>=<span><span>3a</span>+29
</span></span>⚫ <span><span><span><span><span>5a</span>+</span>−15</span>+<span>9a</span></span>=<span><span>3a</span>+29
</span></span>⚫ <span><span><span>(<span><span>5a</span>+<span>9a</span></span>)</span>+<span>(<span>−15</span>)</span></span>=<span><span>3a</span>+29
</span></span>     
Combine like terms

⚫ <span><span><span>14a </span>+<span>15 </span></span>= <span><span>3a </span>+ 29
</span></span>⚫ <span><span><span>14a </span>− 15 </span>= <span><span>3a </span>+ 29

</span></span>Step 2: Subtract 3a from both sides.

⚫<span><span><span><span>14a </span>− 15 </span>− <span>3a </span></span>= <span><span><span>3a </span>+ 29 </span>− <span>3a
</span></span></span>⚫<span><span><span>11a </span>− 15 </span>= 29

</span>Step 3: Add 15 to both sides.

⚫ <span><span><span><span>11a </span>− 15 </span>+ 15 </span>= <span>29 + 15
</span></span>⚫ <span><span>11a </span>= 44

</span>Step 4: Divide both sides by 11.

⚫ 11a11= 4411

a = 4

<span>Hope that helps! ★ <span>If you have further questions about this question or need more help, feel free to comment below or leave me a PM. -UnicornFudge aka Nadia </span></span>

1:Simplify 5a-15+9a to 14a−15
<span>14a-15=3a+29

</span>2:Add <span>15</span> to both sides
14a=3a+29+15

3:Simplify <span>3a+29+15</span> to <span>3a+44</span>
<span>14a=3a+4<span>4

</span></span>4:Subtract <span>3a</span> from both sides
<span><span>14a−3a=44</span>

5:Simplify 14a<span>−3a</span> to 11a
<span>11a=44

6:Divide both sides by 11
<span><span>a=44/11
</span><span>
7:Simplify 44/11 to 4
a=4</span></span></span></span>

Divide. Express your answer in simplest form. <br>8/9 ÷ 8<br><br>○7 1/9 <br>○1/9 <br>○8/72 <br>○9​
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

8/9 ÷ 8/1

8/9 x 1/8 = 8/72

The GCF for 8 and 72 is 8

\frac{8}{72}÷\frac{8}{8}=\frac{1}{9}

A line with gradient of -3 passes through the points(3,k) and (k,8). Find the value of k and hence express the equation of the l
Kruka [31]

Answer:

3x + y = 9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The equation of a line is in the form of y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. Write the given values in that form.

y = -3x + c

2) Find the value of k by using the following formula: m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1. We already know m.

-3 = 8 - k / k - 3

-3(k - 3) = 8 - k

-3k + 9 = 8 - k

-3k + k = 8 - 9

-2k = -1

k = -1/-2

k = 1/2

3) Therefore, a line with gradient of - 3 passes through the points (3, 1/2) and (1/2, 8). We can find the y-intercept (c). To do so, choose one of the coordinates and substitute.

y = -3x + c

1/2 = -3(3) + c

1/2 = -9 + c

1/2 + 9 = c

9.5 = c

Completed equation of the line: y = -3x + 9.5

4) Write it in the form of ax + by = c.

3x + y = 9.5
