Question

In the formula T = 2r + 3a, "a" can be expressed as (T - 2r)/3.
a) True
b) False

Answer 1

The statement is true. 'a' can be expressed as (T - 2r)/3 in the formula T = 2r + 3a.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the formula T = 2r + 3a, 'a' can be expressed as (T - 2r)/3. So, the statement is True.

To show this, we can substitute the expression for 'a' into the formula and simplify: T = 2r + 3((T - 2r)/3).

By distributing the 3 to both terms in the numerator, we get T = 2r + (3T - 6r)/3.

Simplifying further gives T = 2r + (T - 2r), which simplifies to T = T. This shows that the expression (T - 2r)/3 is equivalent to 'a' in the formula T = 2r + 3a.
