Question

Which is the solution to the equation 2.6a + 18.4 = 28.8 round the nearest tenth if necessary. 1.4, 4, 18.2, 27,

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,

$2.6a+18.4=28.8$

Subtracting 18.4 on both sides,

$2.6a+18.4-18.4=28.8-18.4$

$2.6a=10.4$

Dividing 2.6 on both sides,

$a=\frac{10.4}{2.6}=4$

Since for a = 4,

$2.6a+18.4=28.8$ is satisfied.

Hence, the solution of the given expression is 4.
