Question

Solve for a in 1/2- 6/a = 2​

Answer 1

Answer: a= - 4

Explanation:

Subtract 1/2 from both sides.

− 6/a = 2 - 1/2

Simplify 2- 1/2 to 3/2

-6/a - 3/2

Multiply both sides by a.

-6 = 3/2 a

Simplify 3/2a to 3a/2

Multiply both sides by 2.

-6 x 2= 3a

Simplify -6x2 to -12

-12= 3a

Divide both sides by 3

-12/3 =a

Simplify 12/3 to 4

-4=a

Switch sides

a= -4

Answer 2

a=−4
