The commutative property states that you can invert the order of the terms of a sum:

So, if you start with

Applying the commutative property you'll get

Answer:
a = 62
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees
a + 47+71 = 180
Combine like terms
a +118 = 180
Subtract 118 from each side
a+118-118=180-118
a =62

"<span>What is the general process for solving an equation with one variable?"...
Typically when solving an equation with one variable, your objective is to
isolate the variable on one side of the equation. This can be done adding/subtracting number to cancel them out on one side. You can also multiply/divide coefficients in order to isolate a variable.
Example:</span>

<span>Add
-4 to both sides to isolate the variable.
</span>

<span>
Simplify.
</span>

Divide both sides by
2 to isolate the variable on one side.


Hope this helps.

Answer:
a² = b² -w² +2wx
Step-by-step explanation:
The algebra is pretty straightforward. Expand the expression in parentheses and add x².
b² -(w -x)² = e² = a² -x²
b² -(w² -2wx +x²) = a² -x² . . . . . expand the square
b² -w² +2wx -x² = a² -x² . . . . . . distribute the minus sign
b² -w² +2wx = a² . . . . . . . . . . . . add x²
