Peter's party zone sells cups in packages of 666 and plates in packages of 888.
shaniya is hosting a birthday party for her little sister and wants to have the same number of each item.
what is the least number of packages of plates shaniya needs to buy?

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
