Hi there!

There are two steps to take when solving this equation, but before we even think about that, let's start by rewriting the equation.

5a + 17 = 47

Step 1) Subtract 17 from both sides.

5a + 17 - 17 = 47 - 17

5a = 30

Step 2) Divide both sides by 5.

5a/5 = 30/5

a = 6

So, your final answer therefore is

a = 6

Hope this helps!

TIP - This method can be used when solving any equation with 1 variable. :D

I tried to answer this one and got it wrong the question is “find the measure of each angle indicates”
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Remember, the sum of the angles on a straight angle is 180 degrees. Additionally, the sum of the measures of a triangle are 180 degrees.

Now, let's label the angles of the given triangle.

<DCE = y and <CDE=x

x+y+92=180

x+y= 88

Now, y+140 = 180 --> y= 40

x+40 = 88

x=48

The answer is 48 degrees.

Hope this is correct! Have a good day!
