Given the equation <span>-4a/a+4=12/a-11, for sure we need to the solution for a.
</span><span>-4a/a+4=12/a-11
</span>-3a + 4 = 12/a - 11
-3a -12/a = -11 - 4
3a + 12 / a = 15
(3a^2 + 12) / a = 15
3a^2 + 12 = 15a
<span>3a^2 - 15a + 12 = 0 
</span>
In order to get a , we need to find the roots.
(3a - 3) (a - 4) = 0

3a - 3 = 0  --> a = 1
a - 4 = 0 -- > a = 4

So the possible solutions for a are 1 and 4.

SOLVE and CHECK the following word problem. (6 marks)
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take the breadth as 'x'

breadth = x

length = 3 + x

perimeter = 38m

perimeter of a rectangle = 2 ( l + b )

= 2( x + x + 3 ) = 38

4x + 6 = 38

4x = 38-6

x = 32/4

x = 8

breadth = 8

length = 11

Chords AC and DB intersect at point E. Select all pairs of angles that must be congruent.
Basile [38]

∠ADE and ∠ACB, ∠DEA and ∠CEB, ∠CAD and ∠CBD are pairs of angles that must be congruent.

<h3>What are congruent angles?</h3>

Congruent angles are said to be angles that have equal measure.

From the figure, we can see that;

∠ADE and ∠ACB are congruent because they are corresponding angles, corresponding angles are equal.

∠DEA and ∠CEB are congruent because they are corresponding angles

∠CAD and ∠CBD are also congruent because they are corresponding angles

Therefore, ∠ADE and ∠ACB, ∠DEA and ∠CEB,  ∠CAD and ∠CBD are pairs of angles that must be congruent.
