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!!!

kicyunya [14]
A magazine is much smaller than a meter stick. Although it would be possible to measure the dimensions of the magazine using the meter stick, since there are centimeter marking on them, a ruler would be a much more appropriate tool to use because of its similarity in size to the magazine.
