Answer:

a =  -  \frac{10}{17} b

Step-by-step explanation:

(a/5) - (b/3) = (a/2) - (b/6)

+(B/3) + (b/3)

NOTE: use property of equality to isolate <em>b</em> from <em>a</em>

(a/5) = (b/3) + (a/2) - (b/6)

-(a/2) - (a/2)

NOTE: continue to use property of equality to isolate <em>a</em><em> </em>from <em>b</em>

(a/5) - (a/2) = (b/3) - (b/6)

60((a/5) - (a/2)) = ((b/3) - (b/6))60

NOTE: 60 is a common multiple of 5, 2, 3, and 6

12a - 30a = 20b - 10b

NOTE: combine alike terms

-17a = 10b

-17a/-17 = 10b/-17

NOTE: decide by -16 to find what a is equal to

a =  -  \frac{10}{17} b
