why dont you try to do it yourself instead of keep asking?

Multiply everything by 3a firstly.

anonymous · Answer

Now let's do it step by step to see where you have any doubt

anonymous · Answer

$$a=\frac{1}{15}$$ Please try working it out yourself too.

anonymous · Answer

1+(1/3)a=6
(1/3)a=6-1
(1/3)a=5
a=5*(3/1)
a=15

anonymous · Answer

nobody ask you to answer.
Jesus.
And 1/15 isn't the answer.
The computer said your wrong.
The thing is if I wanted to do it I would because I can.
I ask questions to get my level to go up and any one who comments my Q wrong or right I give medals so they can go a level up. Also I Often write a question and answer it my self but ask everyone if I got it right. Thank you.

you will multiply by 3a to get rid of your 1/3 a

anonymous · Answer

The idea of multiplying everything by 3a is to get rid of that fraction, since $$\frac{1}{3a}\times 3a=1$$

anonymous · Answer

The answer is -21 FYI

anonymous · Answer

can you rewrite the equation with the equation tool??

anonymous · Answer

1+3a=-6
-1        -1
---------
0+1/3a=-7
     1/3a=-7
3*1/3a=-7*3
cross out the first 3 and the 3 in 1/3
and its
         a=-21
