Which value of a would make the following statement true? -3(2x + a) = -6x + 15

1 answer:

6 0

Your answer is -5.
This is because, if you expand the single bracket, you get -6x -3a, and since the other side of the equals sign is -6x + 15, then you need to do 15 ÷ -3 = -5.

I hope this helps!

18. a^3n^7 / an^4 (a^3 minus a = a^2 same as n^7 minus n^4 = n^3)
=a^2n^3

19. -yz^5 / y^2z^3

= -z^2/y

20. -7x^5y^5z^4 / 21x^7y^5z^2 (divide -7 to 21 and minus xyz)

= -z / 3x^2

21. 9a^7b^5x^5 / 18a^5b^9c^3

=a^2c^2 / 2b^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Among 806 people asked which is there favorite seat on a plane, 492 chose the window seat, 8 chose the middle seat, and 306 chose the aisle seat, then

$P(\text{Window seat})=\dfrac{492}{806}=\dfrac{246}{403}\\ \\P(\text{Middle seat})=\dfrac{8}{806}=\dfrac{4}{403}\\ \\P(\text{Aisle seat})=\dfrac{306}{806}=\dfrac{153}{403}$
