Question

8.1 = 0.9a, how do you solve?

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8.1 = 0.9a

Solving

8.1 = 0.9a

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.9a' to each side of the equation.

8.1 + -0.9a = 0.9a + -0.9a

Combine like terms: 0.9a + -0.9a = 0.0

8.1 + -0.9a = 0.0

Add '-8.1' to each side of the equation.

8.1 + -8.1 + -0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

Combine like terms: 8.1 + -8.1 = 0.0

0.0 + -0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

-0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

Combine like terms: 0.0 + -8.1 = -8.1

-0.9a = -8.1

Divide each side by '-0.9'.

a = 9

Simplifying

a = 9
