Dwayne has $5.00 kendra has 1/10 as much money as dwayne juan has 1/10 as much money as kendra tom has 10 times as much money as dwayne and ruth as 10 times as much money as tom

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

step-by-step explanation:

yes it represnts a functio, their are not 2 of the same numbers on the both sides
