Use the drawing tool(s) to form the correct answer on the provided number line. consider the functions below. f(x)= |3x| + 3 g(x)= –x^2 + 8x – 5 represent the interval where both functions are increasing on the number line provided. (picture provided)

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
