Solve -6a+1/3=-4

$$- \frac { 6 a + 1 } { 3 } = - 4$$

Solve for a

$$a = \frac{11}{6} = 1\frac{5}{6} \approx 1.833333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

$$-\left(6a+1\right)=-12$$

To find the opposite of 6a+1, find the opposite of each term.

$$-6a-1=-12$$

Add 1 to both sides.

$$-6a=-12+1$$

Add -12 and 1 to get -11.

$$-6a=-11$$

Divide both sides by -6.

$$a=\frac{-11}{-6}$$

Fraction \frac{-11}{-6} can be simplified to \frac{11}{6} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$a=\frac{11}{6}$$
