Basic Math Examples

$y = \frac{1}{3} a^{2} - \frac{4}{3} a - \frac{5}{3}$

Step 1

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $a^{2}$ .

$y = \frac{a^{2}}{3} - \frac{4}{3} a - \frac{5}{3}$

Step 2

Combine $a$ and $\frac{4}{3}$ .

$y = \frac{a^{2}}{3} - \frac{a \cdot 4}{3} - \frac{5}{3}$

Step 3

Move $4$ to the left of $a$ .

$y = \frac{a^{2}}{3} - \frac{4 a}{3} - \frac{5}{3}$
