2/3a - 1/6 = 1/3 what is the solution to the equation?
a= 1/6
a= 7/12
a= 3/4
a= 1/4
Which one? Is this a trick question?
Before nyone answers ill tell you what i got and see if it is correct
i said the answer was 1/6 did i get it?
Justified if because i do it!
2/3a = 1/6 + 2/6
4/6 a = 3/6
a = 3/6(6/4)
so a= 3/4
Why this is a trick question? If you want p.m. me !
I think you mean 2/3a and not 2/(3a)
(2/3)a - 1/6 = 1/3
(2/3)a = 1/3 + 1/6
(2/3)a = 2/6 + 1/6
(2/3)a = 3/6
(2/3)a = 1/2 multiply both sides by 3/2
a = (3/2) (1/2) = 3/4
Adding 1/6 to both sides we get 2/3a=1/2. Multiply both sides by 3/2 to get a by itself on one side. By doing this we get a=3/4
