Solve: <br> g/3+11=25<br> Thank you so much!

Fofino [41]

G/3 + 11 = 25

Multiply both sides by 3

3.(g/3) + 3 . 11 = 3. 25

g + 33 = 75

subtract 33 from both sides:

g = 75 - 33

g = 42

hope this helps :)

Can someone pls help for brainlest

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 36 $in^{2}$

Only one number will make this missing length true.

Obviously it's a square so one number x one number will equal to 36 $in^{2}$

6 x 6 = 36 $in^{2}$
