Question 317310
{{{(a+1)/4=2/3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3(a+1)=2*4}}} Cross multiply.



{{{3(a+1)=8}}} Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.



{{{3a+3=8}}} Distribute.



{{{3a=8-3}}} Subtract {{{3}}} from both sides.



{{{3a=5}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{a=(5)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{a}}}.
