Answer:


a=10

Explanation:

The given equation is


(a)/(10)-(1)/(2)=(1)/(2)

Group similar terms to get;


(a)/(10)=(1)/(2)+(1)/(2)

This implies that;


(a)/(10)=1

We multiply both sides by 10 to get;


a=1* 10


\Rightarrow a=10

Answer:
a=10

Explanation:

1. You have the following equation given in the problem above:


(a)/(10)-(1)/(2)=(1)/(2)

2. You must add 1/2 to both side of the equation, then:


(a)/(10)-(1)/(2)+(1)/(2)=(1)/(2)+(1)/(2)\\(a)/(10)=1

3. Now, you must multiply each side of the equation given by 10, therefore, you obtain the following result:


(a)/(10)*10=1*10\\a=10
