Please help me what is a NOW a/4 − 5/6 = −1/2

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the denominator of the 1/2 to sixths. Multiply the top and bottom by 3 to get 3/6

[tex]\frac{a}{4}-\frac{5}{6}=-\frac{3}{6} \\[/tex]

Add 5/6 to both sides and simplify

[tex]\frac{a}{4} =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 4 to get

a=4/3

Multiply numbers
A/4 -1 x 5/6 = -1/2
A/ 4 - 5/6 =-1/2
Add 5/6 to both sides of the equation
A/4 -5/6 =1/2
A/4 -5/6+5/6 =-1/2 +5/6
Simplify
Add the numbers
A/4 =1/3

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators
A/4 = 1/3
4x a/4 =4x1/3
Simplify

Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator
Multiply the numbers
A=4/3
Solution
A=4/3
