Solve 5/6-a/4=1/3

Evaluate

\frac{5}{6} - \frac{a}{4} = \frac{1}{3}

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

- \frac{a}{4} = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{5}{6}

Subtract the numbers

More Steps

- \frac{a}{4} = - \frac{1}{2}

Rewrite the expression

\frac{- a}{4} = \frac{- 1}{2}

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

\frac{- a}{4} \times 4 = \frac{- 1}{2} \times 4

Multiply the terms

- a = \frac{- 4}{2}

Divide the terms

- a = - 2

Solution

a = 2
