Your answer would end up being 1.
6^2-7(8+6-3^2) = 1
These are similar triangles therefore Angle E corresponds to Angle Q - therefore 90 degrees
If the check mark is a square root the next step is -2 x 2.2
Maya is said to be m years old now. We are asked what will be her age after four years from now so we just have to add 4 years from her age now. The correct expression to calculate her age should be m+4. This cannot be seen among the choices given above.
Answer is: a= -4

3
:
a 3 1
(————————————————— + —————) - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a - 3 a + 3
Equation at the end of step
4
:
(4a + 9) 1
————————————————— - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a + 3
Pull out like factors :
3a + 12 = 3 • (a + 4)
Equation at the end of step
6
:
3 • (a + 4)
————————————————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3)
3•(a+4)
——————————— • (a+3)•(a-3) = 0 • (a+3)•(a-3)
(a+3)•(a-3)
a+4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
a = -4
