Question

Which statement about the linear equation 3a + 1/3 (6a - 9) = 1/2(10a-6) is true?

Answer 1

Given the equation:

$3a+\frac{1}{3}(6a-9)=\frac{1}{2}(10a-6)$

To know which statement is true about it, let us first simplify it.

$\begin{gathered} 3a+2a-3=5a-3 \\ 5a-3=5a-3 \end{gathered}$

With the value on the right-hand side the same as the value on the left-hand side, there is no way to evaluate further.

We conclude that THE EQUATION HAS NO SOLUTION.
