A) -12
B) -24
C) 24
D) 48

Answer 1

To find the value of 'a' in the equation a/-6 + 8 = 12, subtract 8 from both sides and then multiply both sides by -6, resulting in a = -24.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the variable 'a' in the equation a/-6 +8=12, we need to isolate 'a' on one side of the equation. Here are the steps:

1. Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to get: a/-6 = 4.
2. Multiply both sides by -6 to solve for 'a': a = 4 * (-6).
3. Therefore, a = -24.

The correct answer is B) -24.
