Answer:
a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Fill in the given values:
a*5-2*7 = 1 =>
5a = 1 + 14
a = 15/5 = 3
A=Lw
P=2L+2w
216=Lw
W=216/L...substitute to Perimeter equation
60=2L+2(216/L)
60L=2L^2 + 432
2L^2-60L+432=0
2(L^2 - 30L + 216)=0
2(L-18)(L-12)=0
L=12, W=18 or L=18, W=12
First distribute 3 to (x-4). that gives you 3x-12. Now your equation is x-2=3x-12. Now you subtract x from 3x. now you're equation is -2=2x-12. then add 12 to the left. You're final answer is 10.
