We need to solve the given equation,

First step is to multiply by the common denominator of 2 and 3 which is 6 to each sides of the equation to get rid of the fraction form. So,

[tex] \frac{a}{3} *6=\frac{a-1}{2}*6 [/tex]

2a= 3(a-1) (By simplifying)

2a=3a-3 (By distributing property).

2a-3a=-3 (Subtracting 3a from each sides).

-a = -3

a=3

So, the solution is a=3.
