80=-8a
We are trying to solve for a. So we need to get a alone. To do that we have to divide each side by -8.
80/-8= -8a/-8
Once you have solved each side you will get the following.
-10=a
No, 3/4 is equivalent to 6/8 and 7/8 is in its final form
The two numbers are (7+ sqrt(65))/2 and (7- sqrt(65))/2
(7+ sqrt(65))/2+ (7- sqrt(65))/2= 7
(7+ sqrt(65))/2* (7- sqrt(65))/2)= -4.
Hope this helps~
