Answer:

a = 10 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

So with the following equation,

4/5a - 8 = 1/5,

we need to use the commutative property.

Which is the moving of whole numbers or variables.

So we add 8 to both sides.

4/5a = 41/5

Divide 4/5 by both sides

a = 10 1/4

So on of the equations could look like a = 10 1/4

Thus,

a = 10 1/4 could be one of the equations given which are equal to 4/5a - 8 = 1/5.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{a=\dfrac{41}{4}=10\dfrac{1}{4}=10.25}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\dfrac{4}{5}a-8=\dfrac{1}{5}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 5}\\\\5\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot\dfrac{4}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup}a-(5)(8)=5\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot\dfrac{1}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup}\\\\4a-40=1\qquad\text{add 40 to both sides}\\\\4a-40+40=1+40\\\\4a=41\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\\dfrac{4a}{4}=\dfrac{41}{4}\\\\a=10.25[/tex]
