A=11/10 Add 1/2 to both sides a-1/2+1/2=a 3/5+1/2~Find LCD which is 5*2=10 Now we have to adjust the fractions. 3*2/10+1*5/10 Put them together: 3*2+1*5/10 Using PEMDAS we do 2*3=6 1*5=5 6+5=11 Now our numerator is 11 and our denominator is 10 which makes 11/10. To check: (plug in the numbers) 11/10-1/2=3/5 11/10-1/2 does equal 3/5 (I can explain how I know this) 11/10=1.1 1/2=0.5 1.1-0.5=0.6 AND 3/5=0.6 Hoping this helps~
