Answer:
a = -2
Simplifying 5 + -2(4a + 1) + 3a = 13 Reorder the terms: 5 + -2(1 + 4a) + 3a = 13 5 + (1 * -2 + 4a * -2) + 3a = 13 5 + (-2 + -8a) + 3a = 13 Combine like terms: 5 + -2 = 3 3 + -8a + 3a = 13 Combine like terms: -8a + 3a = -5a 3 + -5a = 13 Solving 3 + -5a = 13 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -5a = 13 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -5a = 13 + -3 -5a = 13 + -3 Combine like terms: 13 + -3 = 10 -5a = 10 Divide each side by '-5'. a = -2
Ur not dumb!!! i graphed the line for u here. i suggest watching some khan academy videos for extra practice!
so the slope of that line above is really -4/3, now
Center of rhombus bisects 90°.
Sum of angles in triangle = 180°
x + x + 14 + 90 = 180
2x + 104 = 180
2 (x + 52) = 180
x = (180 ÷ 2) - 52
x = 90 - 52
x = 38°
