Question

5.4 = a - (-1.8) solve for a.

Answer 1

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.5.4=a−(−1.8)Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.5.4=a+1.8Step 2: Flip the equation.a+1.8=5.4Step 3: Subtract 1.8 from both sides.a+1.8−1.8=5.4−1.8a=3.6

Answer 2

Subtracting a negative cancels them to become positve so now we have a + 1.8 = 5.4.

subtract 1.8 from both sides of a + 1.8 = 5.4 to isolate the variable and we have:
a = 3.6 because 5.4 - 1.8 is 3.6.

therefore a = 3.6. hope this helped! plug it into the original equation and you see that you get 5.4 = 5.4
