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

Step 1

Subtract $\frac{2}{3}$ from both sides of the equation.

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

Step 2

Write $1$ as a fraction with a common denominator.

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

Step 3

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

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

Step 4

Subtract $2$ from $3$ .

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

Step 5

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

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

Decimal Form:

$a = 0.\overline{3}$
