Question

Solve a/10 - 1/2=1/2 for a

Answer 1

Answer: $a=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following equation given in the problem above:

$\frac{a}{10}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

2. You must add 1/2 to both side of the equation, then:

$\frac{a}{10}-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\\\frac{a}{10}=1$

3. Now, you must multiply each side of the equation given by 10, therefore, you obtain the following result:

$\frac{a}{10}*10=1*10\\a=10$

Answer 2

Answer:

$a=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$\frac{a}{10}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

Group similar terms to get;

$\frac{a}{10}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$

This implies that;

$\frac{a}{10}=1$

We multiply both sides by 10 to get;

$a=1\times 10$

$\Rightarrow a=10$
