so we're really looking for a line whose slope is 3 and runs through (1,5)

Since you are solving for a, you want to have a on one side of the equation and the other terms on another side of the equation. It would be easiest to have all the terms with a on the left side of the equation, so that is what we will do.
Subtract 9a from both sides to get a on the left side of the equation.
5 + 5a = -5
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with a.
5a = -10
Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for a.
a = -2
Answer:
the answer is 72 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
a²+b²=c²
a²+900=6084
a²=5184
a=72
Answer:
Sketch the graph of y=7^x
Reflect the graph across the y-axis to show the function y=7^-x
Stretch the graph vertically by a factor of 3 to show the function y=3*7^-x
Shift the graph up 2 units to show the function y=3*7^-x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
You should first turn 1 5/8 into an improper fraction. 1 5/8= 13/8. For fractions, you just multiply regularly.
Let’s do the numerators first (the top number):
2 • 13 = 26
Now the denominators:
3•8= 24
The fraction would be 26/24, but this can be simplified smaller. Let’s divide the top and bottom by two (trick when simplifying is to divide by smaller numbers if you can like 2,3,4).
We now have 13/12, and since 13 is prime, that is the farthest we can simplify to. Let’s make it a mixed number, 1 1/12 is the answer.
