Respuesta :
the answer is -3, Choice 1 because you only need to care about the x values, so what do you add/subtract from 8 you get 5? So the answer is -3
Answer:
A) -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
When (8x + 12y) is added to (ax − 6y) the answer is (5x + 6y)
[tex](8x+12y)+(ax-6y)=(5x+6y)[/tex]
[tex]8x+12y+ax-6y=5x+6y[/tex]
[tex](8+a)x+6y = 5x+6y[/tex] ( By combining like terms )
By comparing,
[tex]8+a = 5[/tex]
[tex]\implies a = 5 - 8 = -3[/tex]
Hence, the value of x is -3,
Option A is correct.
