Solve and check the solution 5/8 = 1/2(a + 2) please help me

Answers

Answer 1
5/8=1/2(a+2)

distribute

5/8=(1/2)a+1

combine like terms

5/8-8/8=(1/2)a
-3/8=(1/2)a

multiply both sides by 2
-3/4=a
a=-3/4

check

5/8=1/2(-3/4+8/4)
5/8=1/2(5/4)
5/8=5/8
Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]a=-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1}{2}\left(a+2\right)\\\\Switch\: sides\\\frac{1}{2}\left(a+2\right)=\frac{5}{8}\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2\\2\times\frac{1}{2}\left(a+2\right)=\frac{5\times\:2}{8}\\\\Simplify\\a+2=\frac{5}{4}\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}2\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\a+2-2=\frac{5}{4}-2\\\\Simplify\\a=-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Check[tex]\frac{5}{8} = \frac{1}{2}\left(-\frac{3}{4}+2\right) \\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\\\\\quad \:a\times\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\:\times \:b}{c}\\\\\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1\times \left(-\frac{3}{4}+2\right)}{2}\\\\\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1\times\left(-\frac{3}{4}+2\right)}{2}\\\frac{5}{8}=\frac{-\frac{3}{4}+2}{2}\\\\\mathrm{Join}\:-\frac{3}{4}+2:\quad \frac{5}{4}\\\frac{5}{8}=\frac{\frac{5}{4}}{2}\\\\\frac{5}{8}=\frac{5}{4\times\:2}\\\\\frac{5}{8}=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Write an absolute value equation that has the solutions $x=8$ and $x=18$

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let |x-a|=b

then x-a=±b

so x-a=b

or x=a+b

so a+b=18   ...(1)

and x-a=-b

or x=a-b

or a-b=8   ...(2)

adding (1) and (2)

2a=26

a=26/2=13

subtract (2) from (1)

2b=10

b=10/2=5

|x-13|=5

Least to greatest is the same as ascending order or descending order?

Answers

Answer:

It is the same as ascending order

Step-by-step explanation:

It is the same as ascending order becuase Least is small and Greatest is big so you are going upwards.

Hope This Helps :)

Answer:

Ascedning order

Step-by-step explanation:

Decend typically means "go down", in this case greatest to least goes from the biggest number to the smallest ( go down from biggest to smallest). Ascending means to "rise" or "go up", so to starts at the smallest value ascedning to the biggest value.

least to greatest = ascending

greatest to least = descending

Which refers to the rate of change in velocity?

Answers

Answer:

acceleration refers to the rate of change in velocity

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is a vector, which means it contains a magnitude (a numerical value) and a direction. So the velocity can be changed either by changing the speed or by changing the direction of motion (or both).

If you travel 70000 M at a rate of 25 m/s and , how long does it take to complete the trip?

Answers

Answer:

Time=2800 seconds.

Time in minutes= 46.67 minutes

Time in hours= 0.778 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled= 70000 m

Rate or speed of travel= 25m/s

To calculate the time for the travel, we multiply the rate of travel by the distance covered or traveled.

Rate= distance/time

Time= distance/rate

Time= 70000/25

Time=2800 seconds.

Time in minutes= 2800/60

Time in minutes= 46.67 minutes

Time in hours = 2800/(60*60)

Time in hours= 2800/360

Time in hours= 0.778 hours

There are five consecutive odd integers. The sum of the three smallest is 3 more than the sum of the two largest. Find the integers. 15 points

Answers

Answer:

11 13 15 17 19

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve this word problem using 2k+1 which is one of the general forms of an odd integer.

Let 2k+1 be the first odd integer.

(2k+1) + (2k+3) + (2k +5) =  (2k+7) + (2k +9) + 3 (the +3 is to accommodate for the left side being 3 more than the right)

Solve for k

6k + 9 = 4k + 19

6k - 4k + 9 = 4k-4k + 19

2k + 9 = 19

2k + 9 - 9 = 19 - 9

2k = 10

2k/2 = 10/2

k = 5

To get the first digit in the series plug in 5 for k

2k+1

2(5) + 1

10 + 1 = 11

So our series is 11, 13, 15, 17, 19

Let's test it.

11 + 13 +15 = 39

17 + 19 = 36

So we are correct, the first 3 integers are 3 more that the sum of the last 2.

Answer:

Linear function A and linear function B both have the same input values as shown below. Why will the output values for linear function A always be different than the corresponding output values for linear function B? The initial values of the two functions are different, and the rates of change of the two functions are also different. The initial values of the two functions are different, and the rates of change of the two functions are the same. The initial values of the two functions are the same, and the rates of change of the two functions are different. The initial values of the two functions are the same, and the rates of change of the two functions are also the same.

The table shows the values of two quantities for an astronaut on Earth and Earth's moon. Which of the following names the quantity and correctly explains why that represents the astronaut's mass? Quantity A, because it remains the same throughout Quantity B, because it is independent of other quantities Quantity B, because it changes with gravitational strength Quantity A, because it measures the force acting on the astronaut

Answers

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is A. because in space, the whole thing is the same amount of density. except for the sun but the question says earth and moon. hop this helps!!! please give me brainliest answer!!!

Quantity A because it changes with gravitational pull.

Given that, the Astronaut's mass of quantity A on earth is 70 units and on the moon is 70 units.

The Astronaut's mass of quantity B on earth is 686 units and on the moon is 112 units.

What happens to an astronaut's mass in space?

We can measure weight here on Earth, but not in the microgravity environment on the International Space Station. Mass plays a critical role in the activities and experiments performed by the astronauts. Mass does not change whether it is measured on Earth or the ISS.

Now, mass defines the constitutive matter of an object. It is immutable (does not change). Although it could be converted into energy, the matter is constant.

On the other hand, the weight of an object (gravitational force) depends on the acceleration due to gravity.

That is why an astronaut weighs about three times more on earth than on Mars. The gravitational acceleration on Mars is about one-third that on earth.

Therefore, Quantity A because it changes with gravitational pull.
