Answer: hope this helps


Explanation:

Simplifying

1.17 + -0.07a + (-3.92a) = 0

Combine like terms: -0.07a + (-3.92a) = -3.99a

1.17 + -3.99a = 0

Solving

1.17 + -3.99a = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.17' to each side of the equation.

1.17 + -1.17 + -3.99a = 0 + -1.17

Combine like terms: 1.17 + -1.17 = 0.00

0.00 + -3.99a = 0 + -1.17

-3.99a = 0 + -1.17

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.17 = -1.17

-3.99a = -1.17

Divide each side by '-3.99'.

a = 0.2932330827

Simplifying

a = 0.2932330827
