Answer:
a =
x =
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve for a.
8x−5x+4−x=ax+8
Step 1: Flip the equation.
ax+8=2x+4
Step 2: Add -8 to both sides.
ax+8+−8=2x+4+−8
ax=2x−4
Step 3: Divide both sides by x.
Let's solve for x.
8x−5x+4−x=ax+8
Step 1: Add -ax to both sides.
2x+4+−ax=ax+8+−ax
−ax+2x+4=8
Step 2: Add -4 to both sides.
−ax+2x+4+−4=8+−4
−ax+2x=4
Step 3: Factor out variable x.
x(−a+2)=4
Step 4: Divide both sides by -a+2.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313
Step-by-step explanation:
If one of the numbers is x, then the other is 13-x, and their product is ...
x(13 -x) = -12
x^2 -13x = 12 . . . . multiply by -1 and simplify
x^2 -13x +6.5^2 = 12 +6.5^2 . . . . complete the square
(x -6.5)^2 = 54.25
x -6.5 = √54.25
x = 6.5 +√54.25 ≈ 13.8654599313
and the other number is ...
13 -x = 13 -13.8654599313 = -0.8654599313
The two numbers are 13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313.
