Question

Is the answer -48?

If not please help.

Answer 1

The answer would be -48, due to cross multiplying.

You would make -6 a fraction by putting 1 under it.
It should look like -6/1
Then you would multiply the 1 and the a and get a.
Next you should multiply the -6 and 8 to get -48.

Your answer would look like: a= -48

HOPE THIS HELPS! ^_^
