Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = 7 is a solution, substitute x = 7 into the equation and solve for a

4(7) - 2(7 + a) = 8 , that is

28 - 2(7 + a) = 8 ( subtract 28 from both sides )

- 2(7 + a) = - 20 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

7 + a = 10 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

a = 3

Answer:

And the probability that the first die shows an odd number is 1/2, as is the probability that the second does. Since the dice fall independently, P(both are odd) = P(first is odd)*P(second is odd) = (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4. Therefore P(at least one is even) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4.

Safiya deposited money into a bank account that earned 6.5% simple interest each year. After 312 years, she had earned $36.40 in
Svetllana [295]

Answer: If the time is 3 1/2 years (most reasonable assumption)

Her initial deposit was $160

Step-by-step explanation:  The basic formula for simple interest is

<em>i = prt  i </em>is interest, P is principal (deposit) r is the percentage (converted to a decimal) and t is time, the number of years.

For this question, you have to rearrange the equation to solve for p.

So divide both sides by rt and you have

p =  i/rt

Substitute the values given

p = 36.40/(0.065)(3.5)

Samantha’s rectangular gift is 10 inches. by 12 inches and is framed with a ribbon. She wants to use the same length of ribbon t
yanalaym [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

7 inches

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The dimension of the rectangular gift is 10 by 12 inches so let us find the perimeter of this rectangle.

Perimeter of rectangular gift = 2 (L+ W) = 2 (10 +12) = 44 inches

Since we are to use the same length of ribbon to wrap a circular clock so the perimeter or circumference of the clock should be no more than 44 inches.

2\pi r=44

r=\frac{44}{2\pi }

r=7.003

Therefore, the maximum radius of the circular clock is 7 inches.
