Ok HI again but the answer should be - 0.68 the steps are below! Simplifying 5 + - 0.25 (a + 4) = 3 + 3 (0.05 + - 0.5a) Reorder the terms: 5 + - 0.25 (4 + a) = 3 + 3 (0.05 + - 0.5a) 5 + (4 * - 0.25 + a * - 0.25) = 3 + 3 (0.05 + - 0.5a) 5 + (-1 + - 0.25a) = 3 + 3 (0.05 + - 0.5a) Combine like terms: 5 + - 1 = 4 4 + - 0.25a = 3 + 3 (0.05 + - 0.5a) 4 + - 0.25a = 3 + (0.05 * 3 + - 0.5a * 3) 4 + - 0.25a = 3 + (0.15 + - 1.5a) Combine like terms: 3 + 0.15 = 3.15 4 + - 0.25a = 3.15 + - 1.5a Solving 4 + - 0.25a = 3.15 + - 1.5a Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.5a' to each side of the equation. 4 + - 0.25a + 1.5a = 3.15 + - 1.5a + 1.5a Combine like terms: - 0.25a + 1.5a = 1.25a 4 + 1.25a = 3.15 + - 1.5a + 1.5a Combine like terms: - 1.5a + 1.5a = 0.0 4 + 1.25a = 3.15 + 0.0 4 + 1.25a = 3.15 Add '-4' to each side of the equation. 4 + - 4 + 1.25a = 3.15 + - 4 Combine like terms: 4 + - 4 = 0 0 + 1.25a = 3.15 + - 4 1.25a = 3.15 + - 4 Combine like terms: 3.15 + - 4 = - 0.85 1.25a = - 0.85 Divide each side by '1.25'. a = - 0.68 Simplifying a = - 0.68
