The first question -

- (2)/(9) = a + (7)/(6)

- (2)/(9) - (7)/(6) = a

a = - (4)/(18) - (21)/(18)

a = - (25)/(18)

a = - 1 (7)/(18)

The second question -

a + (7)/(6) = (3)/(4)

a = (3)/(4) - (7)/(6)

a = (9)/(12) - (14)/(12)

a = - (5)/(12)

Hope that helps :)

- (2)/(9) = a + (7)/(6)

Take 7/6 to the other side


- (2)/(9) - (7)/(6) = a

Make both fractions have the same denominator


a = - (2 * 2)/(9 * 2) - (7 * 3)/(6 * 3)

Simplify


a = - (25)/(18)


The second question.


a + (7)/(6) = (3)/(4)

Bring 7/6 to the other side


a = (3)/(4) - (7)/(6)

Make both fractions have similar denominators.


a = (3 * 3)/(4 * 4) - (7 * 2)/(6 * 2)

Simplify


a = - (5)/(12)
