Question

$$0.25 ( 8 a - 0.5 ) = 7 \cdot 5$$

Solve for a

$a=17.5625$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $0.25$ by $8a-0.5$.

$$2a-0.125=7\times 5$$

Multiply $7$ and $5$ to get $35$.

$$2a-0.125=35$$

Add $0.125$ to both sides.

$$2a=35+0.125$$

Add $35$ and $0.125$ to get $35.125$.

$$2a=35.125$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$a=\frac{35.125}{2}$$

Expand $\frac{35.125}{2}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $1000$.

$$a=\frac{35125}{2000}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{35125}{2000}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $125$.

$$a=\frac{281}{16}$$
