Answer:
a = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
7a-17 = 4a +1 ; Subtract 4a from both sides
3a - 17 = 1 ; Add 17 to both sides
3a = 18 ; Divide both sides by 3
a = 6
You need to divide the two numbers. 15/3 = 5

(I know there isnt any real problem here to solve, but heres a tip on how to solve greatest to least with decimal problems)
1. Just because a number looks big, doesn't mean it is big
Example: 1.00000000000001 < 1.1
just look at the numbers ^ and dont just hastily read it over assuming that 1.1 is smaller because it "has less digits"
2. Negative numbers are... opposite. and they are less than positive numbers
-3.4 > -4.1
Why is this? Well, if you look on a line, with the point 0 in the middle, you can see that -3.4 is not as far away from 0 as -4.1 is. So the idea is to apply opposite logic for negative numbers
I hope these tips helped!! :D
