An orgami artist wants to cut squares from a hand painted sheet of paper which measures 52 cm wide by 84 cm long. He wants all the squares to be the same size. What size square should he cut so that he gets the largest possible square without wasting any paper _cm by _cm​

the answer to the expression is 83

a; x = 0.5

step-by-step explanation:

-10x = -5

x = 0.5

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
