Question

1.7a + 0.3a = 4/5 Please help....

Answer 1

2a = 4/5

a = 4/5 / 2

a = 0.4

The answer is 0.4

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of the equation is  $a= \frac{2}{5}$ or 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

We need to solve the equation for a.

$1.7a + 0.3a = \frac{4}{5}$

Add the like terms.

$2a= \frac{4}{5}$

Now divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{2a}{2}= \frac{4}{5\times 2}$

$a= \frac{2}{5}$ or $a= 0.4$

Hence, the value of the equation is $a= \frac{2}{5}$ or 0.4
