Before training for the obstacle course, Helena bought a new pair of athletic shoes. She placed the shoes on the floor next to each other and noticed that the right shoe looked just like a reflection of the left shoe. If she had accidentally purchased two left shoes, how would this comparison change?

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
