Solve the following equation:
1.3(a + 2) + 5.6 = 17.3

a=7

Step by step Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1.3(a+2)+5.6=17.3

(1.3)(a)+(1.3)(2)+5.6=17.3(Distribute)

1.3a+2.6+5.6=17.3

(1.3a)+(2.6+5.6)=17.3(Combine Like Terms)

1.3a+8.2=17.3

1.3a+8.2=17.3

Step 2: Subtract 8.2 from both sides.

1.3a+8.2−8.2=17.3−8.2

1.3a=9.1

Step 3: Divide both sides by 1.3.

1.3a      9.1

1.3     =   1.3

a = 7
