Question

Which shows the correct solution of the equation, when 1/2a+2/3b=50, when b=50 ?

Answer 1

Answer a=60 (3rd option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$a = \frac{100}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equation:

$\frac{1}{2} a + \frac{2}{3} b = 50$

If $b=50$, then:

$\frac{1}{2} a + \frac{2}{3}$×50 $= 50$

Solving for 'a':

$\frac{1}{2} a = \frac{50}{3}$

$\frac{1}{2} a = \frac{50}{3}$

$a = 2\frac{50}{3}$

$a = \frac{100}{3}$
