Question

HELP ME PLEASE! Solve for the value of a.

Answer 1

`a=8`

Explanation:

The total angle is 90° and 90° - 50° is 40° so
`6a-8=40`.

After you add 8 to both sides you get
`6a=48`.

Divide both sides by 6 and you get
`a=8`.

Answer 2

The angle is 90 degrees since it is a right angle.

90-50=40 gives us how much the equation 6a-8 is worth

Set it so

6a-8=40

6a=48

a=8

Hope this helps and lmk if it
