Answer:
a = 2.36
Step-by-step explanation:
a-(-3.75)=6.11
The negative 3.75 is being subtracted from the 'a'. A negative number being subtracted from another number makes it positive. So, 3.75 is actually being added to 'a' which is equal to 6.11
I re-wrote the question as:
a + 3.75 = 6.11
Subtract 3.75 from both sides to leave 'a' by itself
a + 3.75 = 6.11
-3.75 -3.75
a = 2.36
