What is the value of a in the equation 5a - 10a = 45 when b = 3

x=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

B is unnecessary here, so we can ignore it. The first thing we do in this equation is simplify by adding like terms. 5a-10a=-5a. So, the equation is now -5a=45. To solve a, we need it by itself. To do that, we undo the multiplication by diving both sides of the equation by -5. 45 divided by -5 is -9, and then we have x=-9.

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i

(-5,-28)
