Solve A=8/3-5/3*21/15

$$A = \frac { 8 } { 3 } - \frac { 5 } { 3 } \times \frac { 21 } { 15 }$$

Solve for A

$$A=\frac{1}{3}\approx 0.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{21}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$A=\frac{8}{3}-\frac{5}{3}\times \frac{7}{5}$$

Multiply \frac{5}{3} times \frac{7}{5} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$A=\frac{8}{3}-\frac{5\times 7}{3\times 5}$$

Cancel out 5 in both numerator and denominator.

$$A=\frac{8}{3}-\frac{7}{3}$$

Since \frac{8}{3} and \frac{7}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$A=\frac{8-7}{3}$$

Subtract 7 from 8 to get 1.

$$A=\frac{1}{3}$$

Assign A

$$A≔\frac{1}{3}$$
