Add 1/4a to both sides
-4= 8/4a-3
Simplify
-4=2a-3
Add 3 to both sides
-1=2a
Divide both sides by 2
-1/2=a
Final answer: a=-1/2

Answer:
at matilda's new job, she will make a rounded salary of $69,000 per year.
Step-by-step explanation:
when solving a problem like this, you have to take her current salary ($64,000 per year) and multiply it to the salary increase percentage by first turning the percentage into a decimal. to turn the percentage into a decimal, you imagine a tiny dot to the right of the 8 like this:
8.
and then you have to move that little dot to the left two times recreating it into .08. you multiply .08 (the salary increase percentage) by her current salary ($64,000) and then also add that number to matilda's current salary to come up with the answer you can round. I'll give you an example of my proscess just so I can give a clear visual of my explanation.
step one:
$64,000
x .08
-------------
5,120
step 2:
$64,000
+$5,120
-------------
$69,120
step 3:
$69,120 is rounded up to the nearest thousands is approximately $69,000
answer: $69,000
9 7/8 written as a decimal is 9.88
Work: So, The first thing I did was 9 (Whole Number) times the Denominator. After the Multiplication, I had gotten 72. I added 72 by the numerator which is 79. Then, I divided 79 by the denominator, and I had gotten 9.875, and I rounded it up to 9.88
I hope this helps, and you get this question correct. :)
