solve for a. 15(25−5a)=4−a
15(25-5a)=4-a
375-75a=4-a
Add 75a to both sides
375= 4+74a
Subtract 4 from both sides
371=74a
Divide both by 74
5.01=a
Answer:
The value of the equation for a is 371/74 or 5.0135.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided equation.
\(15(25-5a)=4-a\)
We need to solve the provided equation for a.
Open the parentheses.
\(375-75a=4-a\)
Add a to both side.
\(375-75a+a=4-a+a\)
\(375-74a=4\)
Subtract 375 from both the sides.
\(375-375-74a=4-375\)
\(-74a=-371\)
Divide both the sides by -74.
\(a=\frac{371}{74}\)
Hence, the value of the equation for a is 371/74 or 5.0135.
