Answer: a = 0, a = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 
2. 
3. 
4. so a = 0 or -8
Remember the distributive property? It goes like x(a+b)=xa+xb... For example 3(6+7)=(3*6)+(3*7)=39
Same here
5(3x-6)-8(3x-7)
do the thing
(15x-30)-(24x-56)
Take parentheses off.
15x-30-24x+56
//WHY PLUS 56 NOT MINUS?
//because there was a minus sign outside the original parentheses, so the signs inside have to be flipped when the parentheses is taken off
//Let's simplify now
15x-24x-30+56
-9x+26
^^The answer!
The answer is A) x = 9
We know this because every four sided figure has angles that measure up to 360. So we can subtract all of the angles and then use the remaining angle to solve the problem.
360 - 90 - 90 - 99 = 81.
So with the remaining angle being 81, we can solve for x.
x^2 = 81
x = +/-9
Since +9 is the only answer that makes sense in this case, x = 9.
-1+5
--------. =
-2+9
-4
----- = 7/4
7
