+2973 0=a+8/3+1/3a
a+1/3a= 1_1/3a
8/3=2_2/3
0-2_2/3=-2_2/3
-2_2/3=1 1/3a
divide both sides
a=-2
+118673 $$\\0=a+\frac{8}{3}+\frac{1}{3}*a\\\\
0=a+\frac{8}{3}+\frac{a}{3}\\\\
0*3=3\left(a+\frac{8}{3}+\frac{a}{3}\right)\\\\
0=3a+8+a\\\\
0=4a+8\\\\
-8=4a\\\\
-2=a\\\\
a=-2$$
+3502 Thanks guys. Thirty math problems made this worksheet tedious to say the least but now i'm done thanks to yo guys. Alright got to go to bed. Literally spent all day doing homework. (Wish i was exaggerating....) Got to get some sleep for school tommorow and get ready for the next wave of homework....
+2973 Alright Cya
if I learned anything today, it is that even the smartest people need a hand sometimes
