Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation provided is correct and needs to be solved for the variable aa. . The operations follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

STEP 2

The first step is to distribute the4 to both terms inside the parentheses.
4(10a+)+13a=124(10 a+)+13 a =12

STEP 3

After distributing, we get40a+12+13a=1240 a+12+13 a =12

STEP 4

Next, we combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
53a+12=1253 a +12 =12

STEP 5

Subtract12 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with aa on one side.
53a=053 a =0

STEP 6

Finally, to solve for aa, we divide both sides of the equation by53.
a=0/53a =0 /53

STEP 7

implify the right side of the equation.
a=0a =0So, the solution to the equation is a=0a =0.
