Answer:
you can't figure it out without the expression
Answer:
a=9
Explanation:
The triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle, so the sides have a 1-1-root 2 ratio. So, if 9 root 2 is to root 2, then find a to 1. You can solve this by setting up the ratio and solving for a:
a/1=9root2/root2
a/1=9
a=9
so it will end up at 6y-6
you need to combine everything that does not have an exponent (example. a, x, y) and you combine the ones that have exponents together. and therefore you get 6y-6 (remember positive and negative signs)
