Question

If $\frac{a}{3}+1,b-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3},\frac{1}{3}$, find the value of a and b

Answer 1

$\frac{a}{3}+1=\frac{5}{3}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{a}{3}=\frac{5}{3}-1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{a}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$

$\therefore a=2$

$b-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$

$=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{3}$

$\therefore b=1$
