Question

Make a the subject of the formula: 10a+1= -46 – 5

Answer 1

Answer:

$a = \frac{ - 46 - 5 - 1}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$10a + 1 = - 46 - 5 \\ 10a = - 46 - 5 - 1 \\ \frac{10a}{10} = \frac{ - 46 - 5 - 1}{10}$

$a = - \frac{ - 46 - 5 - 1}{10}$

It you were asked to solve for a ur would be;

$a = - \frac{ 52}{10} \\ or \: \\ a = - \frac{ 26}{5}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is

a = (-46 – 5 – 1) ÷ 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

• 10a + 1 = -46 – 5

So,

10a + 1 = -46 – 5

Now, subtract 1 from both side we get,

10a + 1 – 1 = -46 – 5 – 1

10a = -46 – 5 – 1

Now, divide by 10 from both side we get,

10a/10 = -46 – 5 – 1/10

a = (-46 – 5 – 1) ÷ 10

Thus, a is the subject of the given formula.

If you want to find the value of a then,

a = (-46 – 5 – 1) ÷ 10

a = (-52)/10

a = -5.2

Hence, The value of a is (-5.2).
