Answer:


a=19

Explanation:


8=(1)/(3) (a+5)

To find the answer we have to find the value of the variable. In order to find the value of the variable we need to isolate it from the equation.


8=(1)/(3) (a+5)

(1)/(3) (a+5)=8
Multiply 3 on both sides:

8*3=24

(a+5)=24
Subtract both sides by 5:

24-5=19

a=19

Therefore your answer is "a = 19."

Hope this helps.
