Answer:

<u>a = - 5.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is,

  • Negative (5 minus (a + 1)) = 9 minus (5 minus (2a minus 3))

We need to change it to its numerical form ⟶ - (5 - (a + 1)) = 9 - (5 - (2a - 3))

Now, by solving it...

-(5-(a+1))=9-(5-(2a-3))\\-\left(5-a-1\right)=9-\left(5-\left(2a-3\right)\right) \\-\left(4-a\right)=9-\left(5-\left(2a-3\right)\right) \\-4+a=9-\left(5-\left(2a-3\right)\right) \\-4+a=9-\left(5-2a-\left(-3\right)\right) \\-4+a=9-\left(5-2a+3\right) \\-4+a=9-\left(8-2a\right) \\-4+a=9-8-\left(-2a\right) \\-4+a=9-8+2a \\-4+a=1+2a \\-4+a-2a=1 \\-4-a=1 \\-a=1+4 \\-a=5 \\\boxed{a=-5 }

Hope it helps!

Solve Please. No Links. Links = Report.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to start is to do this problem is to start changing the 3/4 cup to a decimal

3/4 = 0.75

Now divide that into 11. What you are interested in is the remainder.

11/0.75 = 14.66667

He can make 14 whole pizzas.

He has 0.66667 of a cup left over which is less than 3/4 (or 0.75) so he does not have enough for another pizza.

So the answer is 0.66667 which is 2/3 of a cup is left over.
