Solve for a 0.1a=0.01a

$0.1 a = 0.01 a$

Step 1

Move all terms containing $a$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $0.01 a$ from both sides of the equation.

$0.1 a - 0.01 a = 0$

Subtract $0.01 a$ from $0.1 a$ .

$0.09 a = 0$

Step 2

Divide each term in $0.09 a = 0$ by $0.09$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $0.09 a = 0$ by $0.09$ .

$\frac{0.09 a}{0.09} = \frac{0}{0.09}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $0.09$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{0.09 a}{0.09} = \frac{0}{0.09}$

Divide $a$ by $1$ .

$a = \frac{0}{0.09}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $0$ by $0.09$ .

$a = 0$
