Javier asks his mother how old a tree in their yard is. His mother says, "The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree's age, in years, is equal to 50." Javier writes the equation { 10 + 2/3} where a is the tree's age in years. His equation is not correct. What error did he make?

    "a" is not in Javier's original equation you posted ... however, the correct equation is 50 = 10 + 2a/3

    a is 60 just as an FYI.
