For the equation: 6a-(2a+4)=11-3(a-2), what is the value of a ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

a = 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

6a - (2a + 4) = 11 - 3(a - 2)

Step 2: Solve for a

  1. Distribute: 5a - 2a - 4 = 11 - 3a + 6
  2. Combine like terms: 3a - 4 = 17 - 3a
  3. Add 3a to both sides: 6a - 4 = 17
  4. Add 4 to both sides: 6a = 21
  5. Divide both sides by 6: a = 7/2
Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The variable 'a' in the given equation is 3. First, simplify both sides of the equation, then isolate 'a' by adding and subtracting the same terms on both sides. Finally, divide to find 'a'.

Explanation:

The first step to solve the equation 6a-(2a+4)=11-3(a-2) is simplifying both sides. On the left-hand side, distribute the negative sign into the parenthesis, resulting in 6a - 2a - 4. Simplifying this gives 4a - 4. On the right-hand side, distribute the negative 3 into the parenthesis, resulting in 11 - 3a + 6. Simplifying this gives -3a + 17.

So, the simplified equation is 4a - 4 = -3a + 17. To isolate the variable a on one side, add 3a to both sides to get 7a - 4 = 17. Then add 4 to both sides to get 7a = 21. Finally, divide both sides by 7 to get a = 3.

PLease help me with this i am having soo much truble with itA family is having a pool built in their backyard. If their yard is rectangular and measures 7x by 6x and the pool is circular with a radius of 2x how much of the yard will be left over after the pool is built?
a. 38x2
b. 42x2 – 4x2
c. 42x2 – 2x2
d. 38x2

Answers

Area of a rectangular yard:
A 1 = L x W = 7 x * 6 x = 42 x²
Area of a pool :
A 2 = r² π = ( 2 x )² π = 4 x² π
A = A 1 - A 2 = 42 x² - 4 x² π
The answer must be in terms of π:
B ) 42 x² - 4 x² π

Answer:

43/20 =  2 3/20

Answer:

2  3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would write 2.15/1 ;  Next, multiply both the bottom and the top by 100 because of the decimal placement. This gives you 215/100. Find the GCF (which is 5) and divide. This leaves you with 43/20, and when simplified, gives you 2 as the whole number and 3/20.  

a movie theater charges $6 for a ticket to a matinee and $10 for a ticket to an evening show. last week on tuesday a total of 130 tickets were sold, with the total income amounting to $1120. how many tickets to a matinee were sold?

Answers

Answer:

45 tickets for the matinee were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

let m represent the number of matinee tickets sold and

let e represent the number of evening tickets sold.

Create a system of equations and solve for m

m + e = 130 → (1) ( total ticket sales )

6m + 10e = 1120 → (2) ( income from tickets sold )

multiplying (1) by - 10 and adding the result to (2) will eliminate e

- 10m - 10e = - 1300 → (3)

add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate e

(6m - 10m) + (10e - 10e) = 1120 - 1300

- 4m + 0 = - 180

- 4m = - 180 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

m = 45

the number of matinee tickets sold was 45
