Answer:

a = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a multi-step equation using the distributive property and rational coefficents (fractions).  The first step is to complete the distributive property on both sides of the equation and multiply each term in the expression in parenthesis by the constant on the outside.  (3/4 x 2a) - (3/4 x 6) +1/2 = (2/5 x 3a) + (2/5 x 20).  When we multiply and simplify, we get 3/2a - 9/2 + 1/2 = 6/5a + 8.  Next step is to combine like terms:  3/2a  - 8/2 = 6/5a +8.  We then need to isolate the variable by using inverse operations:  3/10a = 12, then solve for 'a' by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal (10/3) to get a = 40.

A. 2, 200, 2000  

This is multiplying the number by 10 each time. In other words, just adding an extra zero to the end of it. 

b. 340, 0.034 

This one is moving the decimal place forward two places. 10^-2, so removing two zeros from the end of it until eventually you reach decimals and have to move the decimal forward twice, which is essentially what you're doing here.

c. 85700, 857, 0.857

In this one, you remove one zero from the end. You move the decimal forward once when you reach the decimals. This would be 10^-1

d. 444000, 4440000, 44400000

In this one, you multiply each one by 10. Add on a zero to each one.

e. 0.095, 9500000, 950000000

You multiply this one by 10^2, so the number increases.
