    There is no value of 'a' that makes the equation true.

    In other words, the equation has no solution.

    Here's how you can tell:

    (1/a + 2) = (1/a) + (1/2)

    Eliminate parentheses: 1/a + 2 = 1/a + 1/2

    Subtract 1/a from

    each side: 2 = 1/2

    Is there any value of 'a' that can make 2 = 1/2?

    I can't think of one.

    So the equation has no solution.
