What is the solution for the equation?

a + StartFraction 8 over 3 EndFraction = two-thirds
a = negative StartFraction 10 over 3 EndFraction
a = negative 2
a = 2
a = StartFraction 10 over 3 EndFraction

Respuesta :

Option B: [tex]a=-2[/tex] is the solution for the equation.

Explanation:

The equation is [tex]a+\frac{8}{3} =\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

The solution of the equation can be determined by finding the value of a.

Subtracting [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex] from both sides of the equation, we have,

[tex]a=\frac{2}{3} -\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

Simplifying, we have,

[tex]a=-\frac{6}{3}[/tex]

Dividing, we have,

[tex]a=-2[/tex]

Thus, the solution of the equation [tex]a+\frac{8}{3} =\frac{2}{3}[/tex] is [tex]a=-2[/tex]

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Answer:

I believe the answer is B

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
