Answer:

a=52

Step-by-step explanation:

-(a + 3)= -55

-(a) + -(3)= -55

-a - 3 (+3) = - 55+3

-a -3(+3) = -52

-a = - 52

a=52

-(a + 3)= -55

(a + 3)= 55

(a) + (3)= 55

a + 3(-3)= 55(-3)

a = 52

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

T b
0 70

This is not a proportional relationship because the ratios are not equivalent.
1/66 (t/b) is not equivalent to 2/62 (t/b).
