Hi there! I am guessing that you are looking for the value of "a"!

Here we go :

2(a + 3) = -12

distribute the 2 to the entire parentheses

2 × a = 2a

2 × 3 = 6


2a + 6 = -12

subtract 6 on each side of the equation


2a = -18

divide both side of the equation by 2


a = -9


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

First you divide by two from both sides of equation form.

And it gave us ⇒ \frac{2(a+3)}{2}= \frac{-12}{2}.

Then simplify.

And it gave us ⇒ \frac{2(a+3)}{2}=a+3, \frac{-12}{2}=-6, and a+3=-6.

Next, subtract by three from both sides of equation form.

And it gave us ⇒ a+3-3=-6-3.

Finally, simplify.

And it gave us ⇒ a=-9

Final answer: ⇒ \boxed{a=-9}

Hope this helps!

And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day.

If the exponential model f(x)=9(13)x is written with the base e, it will take the form A0ekx. What is A0 and what is k?
nadezda [96]

9 × 13<em>ˣ</em> = 9 × exp(ln(13<em>ˣ </em>))

… = 9 × exp(<em>x</em> ln(13))

… = <em>A</em>₀ × exp(<em>kx</em>)

so that

<em>A</em>₀ = 9

<em>k</em> = ln(13)

Arlecino [84]
The ordered pair (-4, 0) is a solution to the system because it makes both equations true. -4 is your x and 0 is your y for both equations.
