Answer 1

Answer:

a = 3 $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a + 5 $\frac{2}{3}$ = 9 ← change mixed number to improper fraction

a + $\frac{17}{3}$ = 9 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

3a + 17 = 27 ( subtract 17 from both sides )

3a = 10 ( divide both sides by 3 )

a = $\frac{10}{3}$ = 3 $\frac{1}{3}$
