Answer:

16/7

Explanation:

3 a - 2

-- = -------- can be reduced to:

7 6

1 a - 2

-- = --------

7 2

and then cross-multiplication results in:

7(a - 2) = 2

We must isolate a - 2 first, and then a. Dividing both sides of this equation by 7 results in:

a - 2 = 2/7

Adding 2 to both sides results in:

a = 2 2/7 or a = 16/7
