Question

What is the solution to 1/6a -1/3=2/3

Answer 1

a=1/6

Answer 2

For such questions, think of a way of rearranging the problem statement so you have all the terms with variables on one side, and rest on the other side.

So rearranging would give us

1/6a = 2/3 + 1/3
=> 1/6a = 3/3
=> 1/6a = 1

now multiply both sides of the equation with 'a'

you will get
a = 1/6
