Question

A+1/3 + a-1/4 = a-2/4 Please fast step by step

Answer 1

$a = - \frac{7}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a + \frac{1}{3} + a = - \frac{1}{4} = a - \frac{2}{4}$

• cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation.

$\frac{1}{3} + a - \frac{1}{4} = - \frac{2}{4}$

• subtract the fractions.
• reduce the fraction with 2.

$\frac{1}{12} + a = - \frac{1}{2}$

• move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign.

$a = - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{12}$

• calculate the difference.

ANSWER:

• $a = - \frac{7}{12}$
