Solve 6-0.2a+0.16=-1

$$6 - 0.2 a + 0.16 = - 1$$

Solve for a

$$a=35.8$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 6 and 0.16 to get 6.16.

$$6.16-0.2a=-1$$

Subtract 6.16 from both sides.

$$-0.2a=-1-6.16$$

Subtract 6.16 from -1 to get -7.16.

$$-0.2a=-7.16$$

Divide both sides by -0.2.

$$a=\frac{-7.16}{-0.2}$$

Expand \frac{-7.16}{-0.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$a=\frac{-716}{-20}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-716}{-20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -4.
