Examples with solutions for Variables and Algebraic Expressions: Decimal numbers

Exercise #1

7.34a+2.3+8a=? 7.3\cdot4a+2.3+8a=\text{?}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

It is important to remember that when we have numbers and variables, it is impossible to add or subtract them from each other.

We group the elements:

 

7.3×4a+2.3+8a= 7.3×4a + 2.3 + 8a =

29.2a + 2.3 + 8a = 

37.2a+2.3 37.2a + 2.3

 

And in this exercise, this is the solution!

You can continue looking for the value of a.

But in this case, there is no need.

Answer

37.2a+2.3 37.2a+2.3
