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

Forest covers an area of 3400 km^2. Each year this area decreases by 7.25%. What will the area be after 13 years
ELEN [110]

Area of 3400 decreases by 7.25%.

Rewrite 7.25% as a decimal.

This leads to 0.0725.

So, (3400)(0.0725) = 246.5.

Now (246.5)(13 years) = 3,276.

The area after 13 years will be

3,276 km^2.
