a = 0.75
a = 0.75

a = 3
a = 3

a = 12
a = 12

a = 16
a = 16

Answer 2

To solve the equation, we can isolate the variable y on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation: y + 5 = -12

We can isolate y by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation:

y + 5 - 5 = -12 - 5

This simplifies to:
y = -17

So the solution to the equation is y = -17.

Answer 3

To solve the equation, we can isolate the variable a on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation: one-fourth a = 3

We want to solve for a, so we multiply both sides of the equation by 4 (the reciprocal of one-fourth) to cancel out the fraction:

4 * (one-fourth a) = 4 * 3

This simplifies to:
a = 12

So the solution to the equation is a = 12.
