SOLUTION: What is the product of the values of a for which |5a-4|=a is true?

One such a value of "a" comes from the equation


    5a - 4 = a

    5a - a = 4

    4a     = 4

      a    = 4/4 = 1.



Other such a value of "a" comes from the equation


     5a - 4 = -a

     5a + a = 4

     6a     = 4

      a     =  = .


The product of these values,  1  and  ,  is  .    ANSWER
