Respuesta :

1.7a+0.3a=4/5
2a = 4/5
  a = 4/5 * 1/2
  a = 4/10
  a = 2/5

Answer:

The value of a is 2/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.  

[tex]1.7a+0.3a=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

We need to solve the equation for a.

Add the like terms.

[tex]2a=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Divide both the sides by 2.

[tex]\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{4}{5\times 2}[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Hence the value of a is 2/5.
