Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides:

5a + 8 + (-2a) = -7

(5a + -2a) + 8 = -7

3a + 8 = -7

Start solving for a by subtracting 8 from both sides

3a+8-8 = -7 - 8

3a = -15

Next, divide both sides by 3

3a/3 = 1

-15/3 = -5

a = -5

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

6:38am

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Average speed V_{avg}=10km/h

Distance traveled d=7km

Generally the velocity across a distance is mathematically given given as V=d/t

10=\frac{7}{t}

t=0.7h\\t=42minutes

Therefore

7:20-42 minutes =6:38am
