Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

If we're using the distributive property, we should  first open parentheses by multiplying -5*a and -5*3

-5*a= -5a

-5*3= -15

Now, we have the equation: -5a-15= -55

Add fifteen to both side:

-5a= -40

a=8

Answer:

a = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(a + 3) = - 55

- 5a - 15 = - 55

55 - 15 = 5a

5a = 40

a = 40 : 5

a = 8

Special right triangles <br><br> Find the value of each missing variable
Shalnov [3]

Hi!

Rules for solving 30-60-90 triangles are as follows:

* The hypotenuse is double the short leg.

* The short leg times √3 is the long leg

To solve then, we divide 4√21 by √3 and get 4√7. That is x, and to get y we multiply by 2. That is 8√7.

Hope this helps! :D
