Write the following word phase as a mathematical equation. The sum of 7 and twice a number, squared.

You don't technically need the ( ) around the 2n, but I included them to avoid confusion.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

the multiples of 15 are 15, 30,45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195,   210, 225, 240, 255, 270, 285, 300, 315, 330, 345, 360, 375,   390, 405, 420, 435, 450, 465, 480, 495, 510, 525, 540, 555, 570, 585, 600, 615, 630, 645, 660, 675, 690, 705, 720, and 735.

the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15.

hope that , fam!
