a minus 3 over 4 minus 5+a over 2 equals 0
You asked:
Solve the equation \(a - \frac{3}{4} - 5 + \frac{a}{2} = 0\) for the variable \(a\).
MathBot Answer:
The solution is: \[a = \frac{23}{6} = 3.8\overline{3}\]
\[\begin{aligned}a - \frac{3}{4} - 5 + \frac{a}{2} &= 0\\\frac{3 a}{2} - \frac{23}{4} &= 0\\\frac{3 a}{2} &= \frac{23}{4}\\a &= \frac{23}{6}\end{aligned}\]
