a+1/4=a+2/6+a+3/9=2

0
7
9
63

Answer 1

I would suggest pushing all the 'a' terms to the right and all the fractions to the left.

Answer 2

Although I must say that the second = sign does puzzle me a bit.

Answer 3

7

Answer 4

?

Answer 5

How does the second equal sign fit into the equation though, because a+1/4 is most likely not equal to 2.

Answer 6

7+1 divided by 4 is 2

Answer 7

Except that it would be 29/4 as it is not (7+1)/4

Answer 8

The way it is written they all equal 2, and you cannot add 1/4 to a and get 2, at the same time add 2/6, 3.9, AND 'a' and get 2. Could you verify that the original equation is accurate.

Answer 9

sorry i messed up its suppose to be
62

Solve for a.
a+1/4-a+2/6+a+3/9=2

Answer 10

AH.. that makes a big difference. :)

Answer 11

ans is 7.as u can take variables one side &constant one side

Answer 12

Under the circumstances I'm not sure how you get any of the answers they list:\[a+\frac{1}{4}-a+\frac{2}{6}+a+\frac{3}{9}=2\rightarrow a+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{6}+\frac{3}{9}=2\]\[a+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{6}+\frac{3}{9}=2 \rightarrow a+\frac{9}{36}+\frac{12}{36}+\frac{12}{36}=2\]\[ a+\frac{9}{36}+\frac{12}{36}+\frac{12}{36}=2 \rightarrow a+\frac{33}{36}=2 \rightarrow a=2-\frac{33}{36}\]\[ a=2-\frac{33}{36} \rightarrow a=\frac{72}{36}-\frac{33}{36} \rightarrow a=\frac{39}{36} \rightarrow a=\frac{13}{12}\]
