Answer:

a = 4/3

Explanation:

Hope this will help

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

1/3+a-(5/4*a)=0

5

Simplify

4

1 5

( — + a ) - ( — • a ) = 0

3 4

1

Simplify —

3

Solve : -3a+4 = 0

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :

-3a = -4

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : 3a = 4

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

a = 4/3 = 1.333
