(2a)/3+(a-4)/5 = 1/2

\frac{2 a}{3} + \frac{a - 4}{5} = \frac{1}{2}

a = \frac{3}{2}

Decimal Notation

a = 1.5

Solution steps

\frac{2 a}{3} + \frac{a - 4}{5} = \frac{1}{2}

Multiply by LCM

20 a + 6 (a - 4) = 15

Expand

6 (a - 4) : 6 a - 24

20 a + 6 a - 24 = 15

Add similar elements:

20 a + 6 a = 26 a

26 a - 24 = 15

Move

24

to the right side

26 a = 39

Divide both sides by

26

a = \frac{3}{2}

1 + \frac{x}{- 10} = - 3

4 w - 3 w + 3 w = 24

y, x - 6 y = - 6

y, 8 x + 2 y = 10

y, 3 x - 4 y = - 5
