1/2(3a=1)-1/3(a-5)=
\n" ); document.write( "(3a+1)/2-(a-5)/3= Use distributive property to multiply
\n" ); document.write( " Now fine the common denominator of 2 and 3 which is 6.
\n" ); document.write( " Change each complex fraction into an equivalent one
\n" ); document.write( " with a denominator of 6.
\n" ); document.write( "3(3a+1)-2(a-5)/6 Use distributive property to multiply the numerator.
\n" ); document.write( "9a+3-2a+5/6 The result after multiplying.
\n" ); document.write( "7a+8/6 Combine like terms in the numerator.
\n" ); document.write( "7a/6 +4/3 Divide each term of the numerator by the 6 in the
\n" ); document.write( " denominator and reduce where possible. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
