Question

What is the solution to the equation? a + 5 and two-thirds = 9 a + 5 and two-thirds = 9. a + 5 and two-thirds + 5 and two-thirds = 9 minus 5 and two-thirds. A = 3 and one-third. a + 5 and two-thirds = 9. a + 5 and two-thirds + 5 and two-thirds = 9 + 5 and two-thirds. A = 14 and two-thirds. a + 5 and two-thirds minus 5 and two-thirds = 9 + 5 and two-thirds. A = 14 and two-thirds. a + 5 and two-thirds minus 5 and two-thirds = 9 minus 5 and two-thirds. A = 3 and one-third.

Answer 1

It's D!

Explanation:

I got 100%

Answer 2

a = 3 1/3

Explanation:

a+5 2/3 = 9

Subtract 5 2/3 from each side

a+5 2/3 - 5 2/3= 9- 5 2/3

a = 9- 5 2/3

We need to borrow 1 from the 9 in the form of 3/3

a = 8 3/3 - 5 2/3

a = 3 1/3
