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

Answer:

$8.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating simple interest is

principal * interest rate * time .

Plugging 140 into the principal, or starting value, 3% as the interest rate, and 2 (years) for the time, we get 140*0.03*2 = 8.4, or $8.40 as our answer. Note that 3% turned into 0.03 as turning a percentage into a decimal requires us to divide the decimal by 100
