Simplify using combining like terms: 3a + 6 + 2a - 8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3a + 6 = 2a + 8

Reorder the terms:

6 + 3a = 2a + 8

Reorder the terms:

6 + 3a = 8 + 2a

Solving

6 + 3a = 8 + 2a

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2a' to each side of the equation.

6 + 3a + -2a = 8 + 2a + -2a

Combine like terms: 3a + -2a = 1a

6 + 1a = 8 + 2a + -2a

Combine like terms: 2a + -2a = 0

6 + 1a = 8 + 0

6 + 1a = 8

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 1a = 8 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 1a = 8 + -6

1a = 8 + -6

Combine like terms: 8 + -6 = 2

1a = 2

Divide each side by '1'.

a = 2

ASAP HELP *Can a triangle have sides with the given lengths? Explain, showing all the work
9 cm, 11 cm, 15 cm
please Explain

Answers

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sides to form a triangle , then the sum of any 2 sides must be greater than the third side

9 + 11 = 20 > 15

9 + 15 = 24 > 11

11 + 15 = 24 > 9

The 3 sides given will form a triangle

Note that

The length of any two sides must be greater than the third side

So

9+11=16>1511+15=26>99+15=24>11

Yes it's a triangle

Answers

Answer:

x + y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

You would need to substitute the numbers into the expression.

Evaluate means that we need to work out what the answer would be.

x + y is equivalent to 9 - - 2.

- - is equivalent to +.

Therefore you would do 9 + 2, which equals 11.

Shonda uses a $10 off coupon to purchase a purse at Chic Mart. At the register, she signs up for a credit card which gives her 20% off her total after the coupon. If Shonda’s total was $60.00, what was the original price of the purse?

Answers

Based on the coupon and the discount, we can calculate that the original price of the purse is $85.00

The 20% was applied after the coupon so the price after the coupon was:

= Total price / ( 1 - Discount)

= 60 / ( 1 - 20%)

= $75

The coupon was $10 so before it was attached it the price was:

= Price after coupon + coupon

= 75 + 10

= $85

In conclusion, the original price was $85.

In the figure below, a tangent and a secant are drawn to a circle from exterior point E.
Suppose that EG = 13 and ED=26. Find CD.

Answers

Answer:

 19.5 = CD

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of the tangent = (length of the secant)(the length of the outside part of the secant)

EG² = (ED)(EC)

13² = (26)(EC)

169 = 26EC

169/26 = EC

6.5 = EC

Now ED = EC + CD

        26 = 6.5 + CD

         19.5 = CD

The value of the segment CD will be equal to 19.5.

What is secant and tangent?

The relationship between the line segments produced by a secant and a tangent line and the corresponding circle is described by the tangent-secant theorem.

The square of the tangent = (length of the secant)(the length of the outside part of the secant)

It is given that In the figure below, a tangent and a secant are drawn to a circle from exterior point E. Suppose that EG = 13 and ED=26.

The value of the segment CD will be calculated as below:-

EG² = (ED)(EC)

13² = (26)(EC)

169 = 26EC

169/26 = EC

6.5 = EC

Calculate CD.

ED = EC + CD

26 = 6.5 + CD

19.5 = CD

Therefore, the value of the segment CD will be equal to 19.5.

Because lines are parallel you can use certain rules to determine the relationship of angle 1 & 2.

(A1 & A2 for short)

With the C shape within the parallel lines we can guarantee that the sum of A1 and A2 is equal to 180.

We can also assume A2 is less than 90° as the lines are parallel and the opposing, non parallel line is acute. With this knowledge and the C shape rule, A1 is therefore more than 90°.

Answer:

x

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to '<' as ' less than or equal to '

Whenever you are deal with these types of inequalities / equations, nake sure to equate the denominators of both entities involved in the operation be it ( -, × , ÷ ,+ )

with that in mind

* 2x - 3/5 - x/3 < 2 has 2 different denominators i.e - 5 & 3

so to equate both sides, let's multiply each by the denominator they are lacking.

* 2x - 3/5 lacks 3 compared to -x/3.

* similarly, -x/3 lacks 5 compared to 2x - 3/5

multiply both by what they lack (2)

thus, (2x - 3 )×3 /(5) × 3 - (x × 5) × 5/ (3) × 5 < 2

* 6x - 9/ 15 - 5x/15 < 2

we can now combine the numerators since we now have a common denominator which is 15.

* 6x - 9 - 5x/ 15 < 2 (6x-9-5x) is equal to -9 + x = x - 9.

calculate the simple interest and compound interest on ₹5000 for 2 years at 10% per annum. how much more is the compound interest then the simple interest?​

Answers

Answer:

Simple: 6000

Compound: 6050

Difference: 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest formula: A = P(1+rt), where A = final amount, P = initial amount, r = rate, and t = time. Plug our values in to get

A = 5000(1+10% * 2)

convert 10% to a decimal by dividing by 100 and plug that in

10% = 0.1

5000(1+0.1*2) = 5000(1.2) = A = 6000

Compound interest formula: A = P(1+r)^t

Plug our values in

5000(1+0.1)^2 = 6050

Difference = 6050 - 6000 = 50
