Answer:

-32

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/4a-5=5-2

add 5 to both sides to cancel the negative five on the left side.

-1/4a-5+5=5-2+5

-1/4a=8

multiply the equation by -4 to get the a just by itself

-4(-1/4)a=8(-4)

a=-32

Hope that helps :)

The perimeter of a trapezoid is 39a – 7. Three sides have the following lengths: 9a, 5a + 1, and 17a – 6. What is the length of
Airida [17]
We know the perimeter is the total sum of all sides of the shape, we can use this to form an equation: the perimeter=1st side + 2nd side + 3rd side + 4th side 39a-7=9a+(5a+1)+(17a-6)+4th side.
Collect like terms to get 39a-7=31a-5+4th side
If we move everything but the 4th side over to the left we can solve 
C. 8a-2=4th side is the correct answer
