a-4/5=12 value of a?
a - 4/5 = 12 note 12 = 60/5 ... so we have
a - 4/5 = 60/5 add 4/5 to both sides
a = 64/5
5x5= just the a-4 and 12x5= 60
a-4+4=a
60+4=64
a=64
Thanks for answering Liza but I think that the question is
\(a-\frac{4}{5}=12\)
What ARE you doing Sir CPhill !!!
Talk about turning a mole hill into a mountain.
\(a-\frac{4}{5}=12\\ \mbox{add 4/5 to both sides}\\ a=12\frac{4}{5} \)
