Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8=1/3(a+5)
I do not know if you meant to put the (a=5) in the denominator or in the counter, so I'll try both.
if 8=1/3(a+5) and (a+5) is in the counter, this would get us;
8=(a+5)/3
<=> 8.3 = (a+5) = 24
<=> 24-5 = a = 19
is 8=1/3(a+5) and (a+5) is in the denominator, this would get us;
8=1/3(a+5)
<=> 3.8.(a+5) = 1 = 24(a+5) = 24a + (5.24)
<=> 1/24 = a+5
<=> 1/24 -5= a
