Question

Solve for ,"a" in 3(a+2)/4 +3/2=0

Answer 1

`a=6`

Explanation:

To solve the following equation:

`(3)/(a)-(4)/(a+2)=0_{}`

Multiply all terms by a(a+2) and cancel:

`\begin{gathered} (3(a(a+2)))/(a)-(4(a(a+2)))/(a+2)_{}=0(a(a+2)) \\ 3(a+2)-4a=0 \end{gathered}`

Apply distributive property of multiplication to expand:

`3a+6-4a=0`

Now, use inverse operations to solve equations and isolate a:

`\begin{gathered} -a+6=0 \\ a=6 \end{gathered}`
