Step-by-step explanation:
the answer as shown in the photo
Subtract 5 from both sides
a/-8 = 4/7 - 5
simplify 4/7 - 5 to 31/-7
a/-8 = 31/-7
multiply both sides by 8
-a = 31/-7 x 8
simplify 31/7 x 8 to 248/7
-a = 248/7
multiply both sides by -1.
The answer is a = 248/7

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
For any polynomial equation, The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra tells you that the highest degree present will tell you how many complex roots the equation has. There are only two terms, "
" and "3". The
term has a degree of 5, its exponent. The 3 term has a degree of zero, because you could write it as
using the zero exponent rule.
The degrees present are 5 and 0. Choose the highest one, 5. So, the answer here is D.
