Question

What value of a makes the equation true? multiply both sides of the equation by 6

Answer 1

Line 3 of my work has the values for the "?" boxes, but I didn't know if you needed the whole thing solved or not, so I did the whole problem out.

Explanation:

`(1)/(3) (4a+1)=(1)/(2) a\\6*(1)/(3) (4a+1)=6*(1)/(2) a\\2(4a+1)=3a\\8a+1=3a\\8a-3a=-1\\5a=-1\\a=-(1)/(5)`

Hope this helps :)
