Step-by-step explanation:

To find which of these options is the solution to the equation we can try replacing the values into the equation and see which one makes it true:

• a = 5.37


\begin{gathered} 5.37+5.92=12.29 \\ 11.29=12.29\rightarrow\text{ false} \end{gathered}

• a = 5.47


\begin{gathered} 5.47+5.92=12.29 \\ 11.39=12.29\rightarrow\text{ false} \end{gathered}

• a = 6.27


\begin{gathered} 6.27+5.92=12.29 \\ 12.19=12.29\rightarrow\text{ false} \end{gathered}

• a = 6.37:


\begin{gathered} 6.37+5.92=12.29 \\ 12.29=12.29\rightarrow\text{ true} \end{gathered}

Answer:

a = $6.37
