Explanation:
To find which of these options is the solution to the equation we can try replacing the values into the equation and see which one makes it true:
• a = 5.37
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5.37+5.92=12.29 \\ 11.29=12.29\rightarrow\text{ false} \end{gathered}[/tex]
• a = 5.47
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5.47+5.92=12.29 \\ 11.39=12.29\rightarrow\text{ false} \end{gathered}[/tex]
• a = 6.27
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6.27+5.92=12.29 \\ 12.19=12.29\rightarrow\text{ false} \end{gathered}[/tex]
• a = 6.37:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6.37+5.92=12.29 \\ 12.29=12.29\rightarrow\text{ true} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Answer:
a = $6.37
