Question

3a - 1/5 = a/5 + 17/3​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$3a - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{a}{5} + \frac{17}{3}$

$3a - \frac{a}{5} = \frac{17}{3} + \frac{a}{5}$

$\frac{15a - a}{5} = \frac{62 + 3a}{15}$

$\frac{14a}{5} = \frac{62 + 3a}{15}$

$14a \times 15 = 5(62 + 3a)$

$210a = 310 + 15a$

$210a - 15a = 310$

$109a = 310$

$a = \frac{310}{109}$
