Answer 1

I think Cymath.com might be able to help you. :)

Answer 2

Is the problem 6= (9/10)a -1 ?

Answer 3

yes ;-;

Answer 4

or is it indeed 6=9/(10a) -1

Answer 5

Solve for a: 6 = 9/10a - 1 just like this

Answer 6

9/10 of a should be written (9/10)a

because its different from (9/10a)

Answer 7

its how it was written im sorry

Answer 8

9 divided by 10a is what the second case would read

Answer 9

Okay lets say the problem is 9/10 of a plus 1 = 6 okay?

Answer 10

ok ;-;

Answer 11

In algebra we can change each side of the equation so that we are able to solve for a, by manipulating it

Answer 12

First thing we can do is add 1 to each side

Answer 13

So now we have 9/10 of a = 7

Answer 14

Does that make sense to you? I added 1 to both sides and since we subtract 1 and add 1 to the right side that becomes -1 + 1 which equals zero
