Answer:
a = -2 or a = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
We want 
. We can subtract 2 from both sides of this equation to get 
. We can factor this to get that 
. When the product of two numbers is equal to zero, one of the numbers must be equal to zero. This means that either a + 2 = 0, in which case a = -2, or a + 5 = 0, in which case a = -5.
Answer:
x=6
AC = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+4= AC
4x +4 = 14 + 3x -4
4x-3x= 14-4-4
x = 6
AC = 4(6) +4 = 24+4 = 28

Answer: 12 friends.
Step-by-step explanation:
the data we have is:
Mei Su had 80 coins.
She gave the coins to her friends, in such a way that every friend got a different number of coins, then we have that:
The maximum number of friends that could have coins is when:
friend 1 got 1 coin
friend 2 got 2 coins
friend 3 got 3 coins
friend N got N coins
in such a way that:
(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + N) ≥ 79
I use 79 because "she gave most of the coins", not all.
We want to find the maximum possible N.
Then let's calculate:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
15 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
now we are close, lets add by one number:
55 + 11 = 66
66 + 12 = 78
now, we can not add more because we will have a number larger than 80.
Then we have N = 12
This means that the maximum number of friends is 12.
