Answer: a = 11.1
Step-by-step explanation:
a(0.3 - y) + 1.1 + 2.4x = 0
Let y = 1.3 → a(0.3 - 1.3) + 1.1 + 2.4x = 0 → -a + 1.1 + 2.4x = 0 → a = 1.1 + 2.4x
(y - 1.2) = -1.2(x - 0.5)
Let y = 1.3 → (1.3 - 1.2) = -1.2(x - 0.5) → 0.1 = -1.2x + 0.6 → -0.5 = -1.2x → [tex]\dfrac{50}{12}=x\ \rightarrow\ \dfrac{25}{6}=x[/tex]
a = 1.1 + 2.4x
[tex]=1.1+2.4\bigg(\dfrac{25}{6}\bigg)[/tex]
= 1.1 + 0.4(25)
= 1.1 + 10
= 11.1
