What is the answer?: a/-6+8=12

Answer 1

Hey there!

Substitute the
by itself as a
`1`

Our problem becomes:
`-(1)/(6)a + 8 = 12`

Make sure we get everything away from the fraction (including
) by subtracting
`8` on each of your sides!

Like:
`-(1)/(6)a + 8 - 8 \\ =12 - 8`

Cancel the two
`8`'s

Our problem becomes:
`-(1)/(6)a = 4`

Now we have to multiply by
`6` on each of your sides

Like:
`6( -(1)/(6)a) \\ (6)/(-1) (4)`

Cancel the
`6`'s on the left side


`a = -24`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
