To solve for this, we need to use the Distributive Property, which allows us to multiply the number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all numbers/variables inside of the parenthesis. Once we've done that, we can attempt to simplify the equation.
Our current equation is:
7a + 3(9+5a) = 0
Let's use the Distributive Property.
3(9 + 5a)
3(9) + 3(5a)
27 + 15a
Our current equation now is:
7a + 27 + 15a = 0
Combine like-terms.
15a + 7a = 22a
22a + 27 (If this is not being solved, THIS is your answer as an expression)
Subtract 27 from both sides
22a = -27
Divide both sides by 22 to get a.
a = -27/22.
If we are not solving for a, but getting an expression, your answer is:
22a + 27.
If we are solving for a, our answer is:
a = -27/22.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
1) The size of the colony after 4 days is 6553 mosquitoes
2) After 
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question you must use the growth formula
Where
is the initial population of mosquitoes = 1000
t is the time in days
k is the growth rate
N is the population according to the number of days
We know that when t = 1 and 
then N = 1600
Then we use these values to find k.
Now that we know k we can find the size of the colony after 4 days.
To know how long it should take for the population to reach 10,000 mosquitoes we must do N = 10000 and solve for t.
Answer:
2.6 and 2.7
Step-by-step explanation:
The actual square root of 7 is 2.64 and that is between 2.6 and 2.7.
Well we can put that word problem into a equation so, 8+x/4=5. Now what I would do is move the 8 to the other side, and since it moved to the other side it becomes a -8 so now we have x/4 = -3. Now I would multiply both side by 4 to get x = -12
Answer= X = -12
