Question

1.7a + 0.3a = 4/5

Please help....

Answer 1

2a = 4/5

a = 4/5 / 2

a = 0.4

The answer is 0.4

Answer 2

The value of the equation is
`a= (2)/(5)` or 0.4

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

We need to solve the equation for a.

`1.7a + 0.3a = (4)/(5)`

Add the like terms.

`2a= (4)/(5)`

Now divide both sides by 2.

`(2a)/(2)= (4)/(5* 2)`

`a= (2)/(5)` or
`a= 0.4`

Hence, the value of the equation is
`a= (2)/(5)` or 0.4
