Answer:

<em>a = - 10</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>3a – 8 = 5a + 12</em>

<em>3a – 8 + 8 = 5a + 12 + 8</em>

<em>3a = 5a + 20</em>

<em>3a - 5a = 5a + 20 - 5a</em>

<em>- 2a = 20</em>

<em />\dfrac{-2a}{-2}=\dfrac{20}{-2}<em />

<em>a = - 10</em>

OLga [1]
Number 1 = 17
number 2 = 72
number 3 = 24


work:

the three numbers are symbolized as x, y, and z

x + y + z = 113

number 2 (y) is 3 times the third number (z) so 

y = 3z

so x + 3z + z = 113

the first number (x) is 7 less than than the third number (z) so

x = z - 7

so z -7 + 3z + z = 113

5z - 7 = 113
5z = 120

z = 24

x = 17
y = 72

Hope this helped :)
