Start off by "switching" the variables
then solve for "y"
The answer of 12 to 13 is almost correct - you only forgot the - signs
As for the decimal estimate, take the square root of 12 (144) and the square root of 13(169) and because 150 is closer to 144 than 169 we can guess that the decimal is about -12.2

2) x=5 it is this because first u distribute the -2 to both the x and the +1 which gets you -2x-2=-12 then you add 2 (you add because you have to do the opposite of subtracting when you need to isolate the variable) to both sides to isolate 2x so you are left with 2x=10 then to get x all by itself you divide 2 to both sides so you are left with x=5
3) x=6 it is this because first you have to add 8 to both sides because you are doing the opposite to subtracting to get 7x alone so you get 7x=18+4x then you subtract 4x from both sides and get 3x=18 then divide 3 to both sides and you get x=6
4) a=2 it is this because first you distribute 3 into 6a and +12 which gets you 18a+36 , so you new equation will be 18a+36+4a=80 then you combine like terms so you combine 18a and 4a and you add them together to get 22a so your new equation is now 22a+36=80 then you subtract 36 from both sides to isolate 22a you are now left with 22a=44 then you divide 22 to both sides which leaves you with a=2
SORRY THIS IS A LOT! I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THE BEST I CAN! HOPE THIS HELPS :) have a nice day !
