Answer:
a=3/4
Explanation:
1. Get 2/3a by itself.
•Turn 1/3 to 2/6 by multiplying 1/3 by 2/2.
•Because you only add and subtract like denominators
This will make it look like:
2/3a - 1/6 = 2/6
Then, add 1/6 to both sides to get 2/3a by itself.
It'll look like this:
2/3a = 3/6
2. Get a by itself.
•Multiply the reciprocal (opposite) of 2/3 to get a alone.
This will look like:
(3/2) • 2/3a = (3/2) • 3/6
a = 18/24
3. Simplify.
Find the largest number that can simplify the equation.
For example, 18 ÷ 3 = 6, and 24 ÷ 3 = 8.
But the largest number you can divide both sides by is 6.
18 ÷ 6 = 3 and 24 ÷ 6 = 4.
3/4.
