The question is in the photo :) i’m struggling

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

the answer is c. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

we need to divide the number of toy dinosaurs, 156, by the number of brothers, 4:

in order to estimate, we can use compatible numbers:

156 ÷ 4

  ↓

160   ÷ 4 = 40        

the correct answer is a).
