a.
–7.52
c.
–10.72
b.
–5.7
d.
10.72

Answer 1

B.) a=-5.7
1.6(a)=-9.12
(a)=(-9.12)/(1.6)
a=-5.7

Answer 2

option (b) is correct.

a = - 5.7

Explanation:

Given : equation 1.6a = - 9.12

We have to solve for a and choose the correct option from given options.

Consider the given equation 1.6 a = -9.12

Divide both side by 1.6

`(1.6a)/(1.6)=(-9.12)/(1.6)`

We have,

`a=(-9.12)/(1.6)`

Simplify, we have,

a = - 5.7

Thus, option (b) is correct.
