Answer:

a = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2

7 = -5*(-2) + c

7 = 10 + c

c = 7-10 = -3

Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.

We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:

2 = -5a -3

5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)

-a = 1 (now by -1)

a = -1

Maria solved the equation. 4 (3 x minus 8) minus 4 = 24. 12 x minus 32 minus 4 = 24. 12 x minus 36 = 24. 12 x = 60. x = 5. What

Answer:

1. Distributive property.

2. Combining like terms.

3. Addition property of equality.

4. Division property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

- The Distributive property states that:

$a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\a(b-c)=ab-ab$

- The Addition property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a+c=b+c$

- The Subtraction property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a-c=b-c$

- The Multiplication property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a*c=b*c$

- The Division property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ \frac{a}{c}=\frac{b}{c}$

Given the following equation:

$4(3x-8)-4=24$

We can identify that the methods Maria used to solve it and the order, are:

1. Distributive property:

$(4)(3x)-(4)(8)-4=24\\\\12x-32-4=24$

2. Combining (or adding) like terms:

$12x-36=24$

3. Addition property of equality, because she added 36 to both sides of the equation:

$12x-36+36=24+36\\\\12x=60$

4. Division property of equality, because she divided both sides of the equation by 12:

$\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{60}{12}\\\\x=5$

Line segment TV is a midsegment of ∆QRS. What is the value of n in the triangle pictured?

Elis [28]

Answer:

D. 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Mid-segment Theorem of a triangle states that the Mid-segment in a triangle is half of the third side of the triangle.

Based on this theorem, we have: TV = ½(RS)

TV = 3n - 2

RS = n + 12

Substitute

3n - 2 = ½(n + 12)

Multiply both sides by 2

2(3n - 2) = (n + 12)

6n - 4 = n + 12

Collect like terms

6n - n = 4 + 12

5n = 16

Divide both sides by 5

5n/5 = 16/5

n = 3.2

Melania has two jobs. During the day she works as an office clerk, and in the evening she works as a cashier. her office job pay

bulgar [2K]

Lets x = # of hours Melania  works at <span>office clerk
and y = </span># of hours Melania  works as a <span>cashier

x + y = 38 so x = 38 - y
13x + 9.25y = 434

substitute </span> x = 38 - y into 13x + 9.25y = 434

13x + 9.25y = 434
13(38 - y) + 9.25y = 434
494 - 13y + 9.25y = 434
-3.75y = -60
y = 16
x = 38 - y so x = 38 - 16 = 22

answer
Melania  works at office clerk = 22 hours
Melania  works as a cashier = 16 hours
