Solve x(12+(-5)):(-8-13)text{ad}a

$$x ( 12 + ( - 5 ) ) : ( - 8 - 13 ) \text { ad } a$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{dxa^{2}}{3}$$

Solution Steps

Multiply a and a to get a^{2}.

$$\frac{x\left(12-5\right)}{-8-13}a^{2}d$$

Subtract 5 from 12 to get 7.

$$\frac{x\times 7}{-8-13}a^{2}d$$

Subtract 13 from -8 to get -21.

$$\frac{x\times 7}{-21}a^{2}d$$

Divide x\times 7 by -21 to get x\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right).

$$x\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)a^{2}d$$

Expand

$$-\frac{dxa^{2}}{3}$$
