If a+9a−3 > 2, which of the following could be a value of a?

Select one:
A. 17
B. 16
C. 15
D. 14

Any of these, given the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

a+9a−3 > 2

Combine like terms

10a−3 > 2

Add 3 to each side

10a−3+3 > 2+3

10a > 5

Divide each side by 10

10a/10 >5/10

a >1/2

The power of the root of the power of a variable can be written as a rational power by creating a rational exponent that is the product of the powers divided by the root. The rational exponent should be reduced to lowest terms. For example, the seventh power of the sixth root of the fifth power of x will be x^(7*5/6) = x^(35/6).
hope it helps
