Answer: 1/8a

Step-by-step explanation: add 4 to both sides first, which will give you 3/ax = 24. Now multiply both sides by ax/3 to get rid of the 3/ax, which will then give you 1 = 24 * ax/3, which equals to 1 = 24ax/3. This can be simplified further and you'll get 1 = 8ax. now divide both sides by 8a to isolate x, you will end up with 1/8a = x.
