In this question, you're solving for a.
Solve for a:
-8(1 - a) =-7 -(1 - 3a)
<em>use the distributive property</em>
-8 + 8a = -7 -(1 - 3a)
-8 + 8a = -7 - 1 + 3a
<em>combine like terms</em>
-8 + 8a = -8 + 3a
<em>subtract 3a from both sides</em>
-8 + 5a = -8
<em>add 8 to both sides</em>
5a = 0
<em>divide both sides by 5</em>
a = 0

Answer:
It's F
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see on the graph that 2 lines cross at (-3;4) so this is the point where the 2 equations have the same outcome/ value.
Answer: To find area of a rectangle, multiply its base (length) by its height (width). Plug in the base, 7 meters, and the height, 8 meters. So the area of Rectangle DFBE is 56 square meters.
88m

Answer:
3 ft by 8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We were given the area as 24 square feet which means that
L×w= 24....eqn(1)
We were given the perimeter as 22 square feet which means that
22= 2(L +w).......eqn(2)
If we divide both cause by 2 in eqn(2) we have
11= L+ w .....eqn(3)
W= 11-L.........eqn(4)
Substitute eqn(4 into eqn(1)
L× (11-L)=24
-L^2 +11L-24=0
If we factorize
(L-8)(L-3)
L=3 or 8
From eqn4)
W=11-L
At L=3
W=11-3=8
Hence, the dimension is 3 ft by 8 ft
