Answer:
a = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
4a -16 = a - 15
both left and right -a
then
4a - 16 -a = a - 15 -a
then
4a -a -16 = a -a -15
then
3a -16 = -15
both left and right + 16
then
3a -16 + 16 = -15 + 16
then
3a = 1
both left and right ÷3
then
3a ÷ 3 =1 ÷ 3
then
a = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
