Okay the answer is 69 because 81-2 is 69
To calculate slope; rise/run
Triangle ABC: run-1 rise-5 slope-5
5 rise/ 1 run (5/1)=5
Triangle DEF: run-2 rise 10 slope-5
10 rise/ 2 run (10/2)=5
B. They are equal because the two triangles are similar
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Given polynomial is: 
a. Terms: 
b. 17 and - 1
c. Binomial or quadratic polynomial
Subtract 5 from both sides
a/-8 = 4/7 - 5
simplify 4/7 - 5 to 31/-7
a/-8 = 31/-7
multiply both sides by 8
-a = 31/-7 x 8
simplify 31/7 x 8 to 248/7
-a = 248/7
multiply both sides by -1.
The answer is a = 248/7
