The number n satisfies the relationship n > 0.
write three inequalities to express the relationship between n and 1/n

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

  answer:

  write 548 as 500 + 40 + 8. multiply each addend by 5. then add the three products to get 2,740.

he has 140 chickens because he has 10 times more chickens than ducks and he has 14 ducks so 14*10=140
