Answer:

a = 32

Explanation:

When solving 1-step equations with fractional coefficients, remember to use inverse operations and the rules of fractions.

In this equation, -1/4 is multiplying a, so you must divide by -1/4 on both sides to get rid of it. Dividing by a fraction means you multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of -1/4 is -4, so multiply both sides of the equation by -4 to get a by itself and find what it equals.
