@josgarithmetic(37819), if you don't know how to answer this question, then don't say anything. Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source):
Change the to mixed number
Since a is the whole part, a = 3, so subtract 'a' from the
left side and '3' from the right side:
Since c is the numerator of the fraction part of the mixed number,
c=2
Cross-multiply:
So , , , and
