Hi there!

There are two steps to take when solving this equation, but before we even think about that, let's start by rewriting the equation.

5a + 17 = 47

Step 1) Subtract 17 from both sides.

5a + 17 - 17 = 47 - 17

5a = 30

Step 2) Divide both sides by 5.

5a/5 = 30/5

a = 6

So, your final answer therefore is

a = 6

Hope this helps!

TIP - This method can be used when solving any equation with 1 variable. :D

Round 23.5584557678 to the nearest hundredth.
lubasha [3.4K]
The hundredth is the second number to the right of the decimal point. Also, if the number directly to the right of it is 5 or larger, you will have to round up by one.

23.558 becomes 23.56.
