Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

$a=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the following equation:

$\frac{3}{a}-\frac{4}{a+2}=0_{}$

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

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

Apply distributive property of multiplication to expand:

$3a+6-4a=0$

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

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