A=-10 all you do to find a is simply add 2 to both sides of the equal sign

Answer:

a= -10

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this you would need to isolate a, or make a stand alone on its side of the equation

a-2=-12    Original equation

a-2+2 = -12+2     Isolating the variable(adding the 2 will cancel the -2 on the left side of the equation)

a= -12+2             Simplification

a= -10                 The answer!!!

I hope this helps!!!

The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is solve this formula for h
elixir [45]

Answer:

V =  \frac{1}{3} \pi {r}^{2} h \\

multiply either sides by 3:

3 \times V = ( \frac{1}{3} \pi {r}^{2} h) \times 3 \\  \\ 3V = \pi {r}^{2} h

divide either sides by πr² :

{ \boxed{ \boxed{h =  \frac{3V}{\pi {r}^{2} } }}} \\
