-1 17/20 and -1 8/10 can be compared easily if we give them common denominators. If we multiply the second fraction by 2, both fractions will have a denominator of 20.

8 * 2 = 16
10 * 2 = 20
New fraction: 16/20

-1 17/20 vs. - 1 16/20

-1 16/20 (-1 8/10) is greater. (For negative numbers, you can tell which one is greater by determining which one is closest to zero.)

Solve the equation for a.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{a=\dfrac{K}{4+9b}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$K=4a+9ab\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\K=a(4+9b)\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ (4+9b)\neq0\\\\\dfrac{K}{(4+9b)}=\dfrac{a(4+9b)}{(4+9b)}\\\\\dfrac{K}{4+9b}=a$
