Solve 207*10^5/1+a=2695

$$\frac { 207 \times 10 ^ { 5 } } { 1 + a } = 2695$$

Solve for a

$$a = \frac{4139461}{539} = 7679\frac{480}{539} \approx 7679.890538033$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable a cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by a+1.

$$207\times 10^{5}=2695\left(a+1\right)$$

Calculate 10 to the power of 5 and get 100000.

$$207\times 100000=2695\left(a+1\right)$$

Multiply 207 and 100000 to get 20700000.

$$20700000=2695\left(a+1\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 2695 by a+1.

$$20700000=2695a+2695$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$2695a+2695=20700000$$

Subtract 2695 from both sides.

$$2695a=20700000-2695$$

Subtract 2695 from 20700000 to get 20697305.

$$2695a=20697305$$

Divide both sides by 2695.

$$a=\frac{20697305}{2695}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{20697305}{2695} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$a=\frac{4139461}{539}$$
