3(2a+1)=-5(a+6)
First expand the brackets.
6a+3=-5a-30
Now add 5a to both sides.
11a+3=-30
Then subtract 3 from both sides.
11a=-33
Finally divide both sides by 11.
a=- 33/11
=-3
Yes because you are multiplying 3 z’s and also 3z’s
Assuming that CB is tangent, this is just a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 20 and a side of 12 so by the Pythagorean Theorem:
20^2=12^2+x^2
400=144+x^2
x^2=400-144
x^2=256
x=16
You can try finding numbers that are close to what you think you can use for exaple lets say we want to find the answer to 54x34 you could multiply 50x30 to get an estimated answer
-12/6+2
=-12/6+2/1
=-2/1+2/1
=-2+2/1
=0
From looking at that equation you put this is my solution.
