Answer:
a = - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
= - 2
a is divided by 2. The inverse operation to division is multiplication, thus
Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction
a = 5 × - 2 = - 10
15x+3x+10 = 38x-20x+10
18x+10 = 18x+10
18x-18x = 10-10
0 = 0
The equation is true.
B. 9*10^16 (because in question give it)
B. 3*10^9 (because answer to first question is divided by seconds in one year (365*24*60*60).
let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then divide.

In the ratio, the numbers are 2 for the shortest side, 3 for the middle sized side, and 4 for the longest side.
2 is to 6 cm as 4 is to x
2/6 = 4/x
2x = 4 * 6
2x = 24
x = 12
Answer: The longest side measures 12 cm.
