1/5(25-5a)=4-a

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we can start by simplifying both sides.

On the left side, we can distribute the 1/5 to both terms inside the parentheses:

1/5(25-5a) = 1/5 * 25 - 1/5 * 5a
= 5 - a

Now we have the equation:

5 - a = 4 - a

To solve for 'a', we want to isolate 'a' on one side of the equation.

We can do this by subtracting 'a' from both sides:

5 - a - a = 4 - a - a
5 - 2a = 4 - 2a

Notice that the terms -2a on both sides of the equation cancel each other out.

Now we're left with the equation:

5 = 4

Since this equation is not true (5 is not equal to 4), there is no solution for 'a' that satisfies the equation 1/5(25-5a) = 4-a.
