Algebra isn’t my best subject, please help

The Distributive property states that when we have the statement a(b + c), we can "distribute" the a by multiplying a times both terms that are inside the parenthses.

So in this problem, 2(5 + 7) can be simplified by distributing the

2 through both terms that are inside the set of parenthses.

So we have (2 · 5) + (2 · 7).

according to the triangle sum theorem, all the angles in a triangle must add up to 180 degrees. if we know one angle is already 90, we do 180-90=90. the other 2 angles must add up to 90, exactly.

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
