Answer:a=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
4+7a=12+8a
So first you want to have the variables on the same side
4+7a-7a=12+8a-7a
This is how you got the 7a to the right side. Then you subtract 8a-7a So the equation becomes
4=12+a
Now there are two ways of doing this.
1. 4-12=12-12+a
You moved the 12 to the left side so you have the same variable on one side
4-12=-8
So then a=-8
Or
2. 4-4=12-4+a
0=8+a
then you would have to subtract 8 to keep 'a' by itself
-8=8-8+a
simplify it
-8=a

Answer:
Part 1) The linear equation is 
Part 2) if he has 90 protein bars left, then 52.5 days have passed
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
y is the number of protein bars left
x is the number of days
m is the slope or unit rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value
In this problem we have
The slope is equal to
----> is negative because is a decreasing function

substitute
---> linear equation that represent this situation
If he has 90 protein bars left
so
For y=90
substitute in the linear equation and solve for x

therefore
if he has 90 protein bars left, then 52.5 days have passed
Answer:
Otieno's age in 4 years: 
Kidole's age in 4 years: 
Step-by-step explanation:
= Otieno's age
= Kidole's age
Their ages will increase by 4 years when 4 years pass.
= Otieno's age in 4 years
= Kidole's age in 4 years
= Kidole's age in 4 years (after simplifying the expression)
I hope this helps!
