Move terms

12+1.5a=3a

Collect the like terms

1.5a3a=-12

Divide both sides by -1.5

-1.5a=-12

a=8

Isolate the a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, subtract 1.5a from both sides

12 + 1.5a (-1.5a) = 3a (-1.5a)

12 = 3a - 1.5a

12 = 1.5a

Isolate the a. Divide 1.5 from both sides

(12)/1.5 = (1.5a)/1.5

a = 12/1.5

a = 8

8 is your answer for a.

______________________________________________________

Check: Plug in 8 for a.

12 + 1.5(8) = 3(8)

Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS.

12 + 1.5(8) = 24

12 + 12 = 24

24 = 24 (True)

Which statement correctly describes a net?
charle [14.2K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A) A net is a two-dimensional pattern for a solid.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In fact, a net is a two-dimensional pattern for a solid. But what is a solid? They are three-dimensional shapes. Prisms, cubes, pyramids, among others, are examples of solids. For example, the first figure below is a net because is a two dimensional patter for a pyramid which is shown in the second figure. As you can see, the first figure is a two-dimensional patter for this three-dimensional shape. Hence, by unfolding the pyramid we get the net or, in other word, by folding the net we get the pyramid.
