Answer 1

Jalen/Carter -- I solved the last problem for you. Now it's your turn.

I'll be glad to check your answer.

Answer 2

1.68 or 1.69

Answer 3

-8/15 a = 9/10

-80 = 135a

-80/135 = a

-0.59 = a

Answer 4

The way you typed it .....
-8/15 a = 9/10
would mean:

(-8/15) a = 9/10 , by the order of operation
-80a = 135
a = -135/80 = - 27/16 = - 1.6875

Ms Sue interpreted it as the way you probably meant it ...

-8/(15a) = 9/10

a = -16/27 = -.59259259.. (the 592 is repeated)

See how important brackets are ??
