Notice the picture below
thus, we know the total area is 70 square meters
now, if we add those areas, it should give us 70
thus
(5x)+(40)+(5x)=70 solve for "x"
Answer:
a=3/5 or 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
a-8/5-2/3a=-7/5
Step 1: Multiply both sides
15a-24-10a=-21
Step 2: Combine like terms
5a-24=-21
Step 3: Calculate and divide both sides by 5
5a=3
Solution:
a=3/5 or 0.6
