Answer:


\large\boxed{a= -1310}

Explanation:

In this question, we would be solving the equation to figure out what a equals to.

The equation we are solving is:


(8)/(9)=30+(a)/(45)

Solve:


(8)/(9)=30+(a)/(45)\\\\\text{Subtract 30 from both sides}\\\\-30(8)/(9)=(a)/(45)\\\\-30(8)/(9)\,\,\text{is the same as}\,\,-(262)/(9)\\\\-(262)/(9)=(a)/(45)\\\\\text{Multiply both sides by 45}\\\\45(-(262)/(9))=(a)/(45)(45)\\\\-(11790)/(9)=a\\\\-1310=a

When you're done solving, you should get -1,310.

This means that a = -1,310

I hope this helped you out.

Good luck on your academics.

Have a fantastic day!

Multiply both sides by 45
40=1350+a
Subtract 1350 from both sides, get answer
-1310=a
