Try it with some random number, like a=3.
Is "3+0 = 0+3 = 0" true? No.
If you were doing multiplication, then it would be true, but not with addition.
Equation (1)

Equation (2)

Get y alone in equation (1)

Insert y in equation (2)

SOH,CAH, TOA so it would be TANGENT since it would be Opposite over Adjacent. Tan(15) = 9/a put Tan(15) onto your calculator it would be .267949 round that to .27 = 9/a cross multiply
a = 33.588. C is the correct answer.

Answer:
10 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to make 2 1/6 into an improper fraction. This can be rewritten as 13/6. Now, we can multiply 13 by 5 and get 65/6. If we re-convert this into a mixed number, 6 goes into 65 10 times with a remainder of 5, so the final answer is 10 5/6.
