<h3><u>Answer:- </u></h3>
<h3><u>Solution:-</u></h3>
Let us first write all the provided number in decimal





<u>Comparing all the numbers </u><u>now </u><u>-</u>


Let's call he width of the notebook w and the length l
w*l=80
2(w+l)=36
w+l=18
w=18-l
(18-l)*l=80
-l^2+18*l-80=0
l=8 or 10
Therefore, the notebook is 8 by 10 inches
Answer: a = -3
Explanations:
The given equation is:

This can be re-written as:

Collect like terms:

Cross multiply:

To verify if the solution is correct, substitute a = -3 into the question given. If the Right Hand Side equals the Left Hand Side, then the solution is correct.

Since the Left Hand Side = Right Hand Side = 7, the solution a = -3 is correct
