Hi

*Note: Fractions are like every other number when solving an equation.

the only difference being we would like all terms to have a denominator of 1

1/4(3a+1)=2/3(11-a)

Mulitiplying both sides of the equation by 12, so as to have denominators of 1

3(3a+1) = 4*2(11-a)

simplyfy and solve as one would do an equation without 'fractions'

9a + 3 = 88 - 8a

17a = 85

a = 5   answer is an integer
