Question

Solve: a+1/3+a-1/5=2/15

Answer 1

`a=0`

Explanation:

Step 1:-

Given
`a+(1)/(3) + a - (1)/(5) = (2)/(15)`

on simplification we get,finding l.c.m

`2 a + (5-3)/(15) =(2)/(15)`

`2 a+(2)/(15) = (2)/(15)`

subtracting
`(2)/(15)` on both sides,and cancelled then we get

solution is

`2 a=0`

`a=0`
