Answer: a = 
We want to isolate a. Add both sides by 2. Then we get u + 2 = 2a. To get just a, we can divide by 2 to get (u+2)/2.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. <span>Two lines are perpendicular, and neither line is horizontal so it must be that the slopes of the lines are opposite reciprocals, one slope is positive and the other has a negative slope. Having different slopes so they should intersect the y-axis at different values.</span>
Are u trying to solve the equations as a system of equations cause if you are the point where they are equal is when x=-(3+/-(sqrt 55))/2
