Solve 1/2 a- 1/3 a- 4/6 a- 3/8 = 2/3

Evaluate

\frac{1}{2} a - \frac{1}{3} a - \frac{4}{6} a - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{2}{3}

Simplify

More Steps

- \frac{1}{2} a - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{2}{3}

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- \frac{1}{2} a = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{8}

Add the numbers

More Steps

- \frac{1}{2} a = \frac{25}{24}

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

\frac{1}{2} a = - \frac{25}{24}

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{1}{2} a \times 2 = - \frac{25}{24} \times 2

Multiply

a = - \frac{25}{24} \times 2

Solution
