Answer:

a=19

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to distribute the parenthesis; multiply (a+5) by 1/3

8=1/3*a+1/3*5

Now we just solve the equation regularly

8=1/3a+5/3

8-5/3=1/3a

6 1/3=1/3a

a=19

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
