Answer is a= 51/7 or 7 2/7
Step by step
-2/3 (a + 3) = 5/3a - 19
Distribute to resolve parentheses
-2/3a -2 = 5/3a - 19
Now to move variables to one side
Add 2/3a to both sides
-2/3a + 2/3a -2 = 5/3a + 2/3a -19
Combine like terms
-2 = 7/3a -19
Add 19 to both sides to isolate variable
-2 +19 = 7/3a -19 + 19
17 = 7/3a
Divide both sides by 7/3 to solve for a
(Remember when you divide a fraction, flip it and multiply.)
17 * 3/7 = a
51/7 = a
Picture attached shows steps in order, I think that is what you also needed?
L# = 1 + 3S#
8S# - 2L# = 10
8S# - 2(1 + 3S#) = 10
8S# - 2 + 6S# = 10
14S# = 12
S# = 6/7
L# = 1 + 3(12/14)
L# = 25/7
Answer:
i. Colonel is about 201 feet away from the fire.
ii. Sarge is about 125 feet away from the fire.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Colonel's location be represented by A, the Sarge's by B and that of campfire by C.
The total angle at the campfire from both the Colonel and Sarge =
+ 
= 
Thus,

i. Colonel's distance from the campfire (b), can be determined by applying the sine rule;
= 
= 
= 
cross multiply,
b = 
= 200.8993
Colonel is about 201 feet away from the fire.
ii. Sarge's distance from the campfire (a), can be determined by applying the sine rule;
= 
= 
= 
cross multiply,
a = 
= 124.8073
Sarge is about 125 feet away from the fire.
