Answer:

a = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-5a-9+a=15

Combine like terms

-5a+a  -9 = 15

-4a  -9 = 15

Add 9 to each side

-4a -9+9 = 15+9

-4a = 24

Divide by -4

-4a/-4 = 24/-4

a = -6

Delia relative long jump length was recorded as 0. What does this mean
Deffense [45]

<span>When we say about an object relative to something, this only means that we are comparing an object’s characteristic to that of our reference. So in this case, I think we are referencing Delia’s jump to someone else. Say our reference has a long jump length of 5 meters, since Delia’s relative long jump length is 0, this means that relative to the reference there is no difference. Therefore, Delia’s jump length is also 5 meters.</span>
