Which expression is A in order to have a true equation A=5 - 11/3

Answer 1

To find the value of \( A \) that makes the equation true, you need to compute the expression on the right side:

\[ A = 5 - \frac{11}{3} \]

First, convert \( 5 \) to a fraction with a denominator of \( 3 \):

\[ 5 = \frac{15}{3} \]

Now substitute that back into the equation:

\[ A = \frac{15}{3} - \frac{11}{3} \]

Now, subtract the fractions:

\[ A = \frac{15 - 11}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \]

So, the expression for \( A \) is:

\[ A = \frac{4}{3} \]

This means that for the equation \( A = 5 - \frac{11}{3} \) to be true, \( A \) must equal \( \frac{4}{3} \).
