Question

Solve a/10 - 1/2=1/2 for a

Answer 1

`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 2

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`
