Correct answer: 18

Let a=[a]+a=n+f, where n=[a]∈Zn=[a]\in \mathbb Zn=[a]∈Z and f={a}∈[0,1)f=\{a\}\in[0,1)f={a}∈[0,1).

Then 2a−1=2(n+f)−1=2n+2f−1,2a-1=2(n+f)-1=2n+2f-1,2a−1=2(n+f)−1=2n+2f−1, and the given equation becomes ∣2n+2f−1∣=3n+2f.|2n+2f-1|=3n+2f.∣2n+2f−1∣=3n+2f.

We solve this by cases.


1. Necessary condition

Since the left side is non-negative, 3n+2f≥0.3n+2f\ge 0.3n+2f≥0. Because 0≤f<10\le f<10≤f<1, this restricts possible integers nnn.


2. Case I: 2n+2f−1≥02n+2f-1\ge 02n+2f−1≥0

Then ∣2n+2f−1∣=2n+2f−1.|2n+2f-1|=2n+2f-1.∣2n+2f−1∣=2n+2f−1. So 2n+2f−1=3n+2f2n+2f-1=3n+2f2n+2f−1=3n+2f ⇒−1=n.\Rightarrow -1=n.⇒−1=n. Thus n=−1.n=-1.n=−1. But for this case we also need 2(−1)+2f−1≥0⇒2f−3≥0⇒f≥32,2(-1)+2f-1\ge 0 \Rightarrow 2f-3\ge 0 \Rightarrow f\ge \frac32,2(−1)+2f−1≥0⇒2f−3≥0⇒f≥23​, which is impossible since f<1f<1f<1.

So no solution from this case.


3. Case II: 2n+2f−1<02n+2f-1<02n+2f−1<0

Then ∣2n+2f−1∣=−(2n+2f−1)=−2n−2f+1.|2n+2f-1|=-(2n+2f-1)=-2n-2f+1.∣2n+2f−1∣=−(2n+2f−1)=−2n−2f+1. Hence −2n−2f+1=3n+2f-2n-2f+1=3n+2f−2n−2f+1=3n+2f ⇒1=5n+4f\Rightarrow 1=5n+4f⇒1=5n+4f ⇒f=1−5n4.\Rightarrow f=\frac{1-5n}{4}.⇒f=41−5n​.

Now use 0≤f<10\le f<10≤f<1: 0≤1−5n4<1.0\le \frac{1-5n}{4}<1.0≤41−5n​<1. Multiply by 444: 0≤1−5n<4.0\le 1-5n<4.0≤1−5n<4. This gives 1−5n≥0⇒n≤15,1-5n\ge 0 \Rightarrow n\le \frac15,1−5n≥0⇒n≤51​, and 1−5n<4⇒−5n<3⇒n>−35.1-5n<4 \Rightarrow -5n<3 \Rightarrow n> -\frac35.1−5n<4⇒−5n<3⇒n>−53​. Since n∈Zn\in\mathbb Zn∈Z, the only possibility is n=0.n=0.n=0. Then f=1−04=14.f=\frac{1-0}{4}=\frac14.f=41−0​=41​. So a=n+f=14.a=n+f=\frac14.a=n+f=41​. Check: ∣2a−1∣=∣12−1∣=12,|2a-1|=\left|\frac12-1\right|=\frac12,∣2a−1∣=​21​−1​=21​, 3[a]+2{a}=3(0)+2(14)=12.3[a]+2\{a\}=3(0)+2\left(\frac14\right)=\frac12.3[a]+2{a}=3(0)+2(41​)=21​. Correct.

Thus S={14}.S=\left\{\frac14\right\}.S={41​}.


4. Required value

∑a∈Sa=14.\sum_{a\in S} a=\frac14.∑a∈S​a=41​. Therefore, 72∑a∈Sa=72⋅14=18.72\sum_{a\in S} a=72\cdot \frac14=18.72∑a∈S​a=72⋅41​=18.


5. Comparison with stored answer

Our derived answer is 181818, which matches the stored correct answer.
