Answer:
7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
a - (2a-1)/a
--------------------
(1-a)/3a
Multiply the top and bottom by 3a
a - (2a-1)/a 3a
-------------------- * ---------------
(1-a)/3a 3a
3a *a - (2a-1)*3a/a
------------------------
(1-a)/3a *3a
Simplify
3a *a - (2a-1)*3
------------------------
(1-a)
3a^2 - 6a+3
------------------------
(1-a)
Factor
3( a^2 -2a+1)
-----------------------
-(a-1)
3(a-1)^2
---------------
-(a-1)
Cancel like terms
-3(a-1)
Letting a = -1.5
-3( -1.5-1)
-3 (-2.5)
7.5
