Method 1:

\dfrac{a}{20}+\dfrac{14}{15}=\dfrac{9}{15}\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 60\\\\60\cdot\dfrac{a}{20}+60\cdot\dfrac{14}{15}=60\cdot\dfrac{9}{15}\\\\3a+4\cdot14=4\cdot9\\\\3a+56=36\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 56\ from\ both\ sides\\\\3a=-20\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\\\boxed{a=-\frac{20}{3}\to a=-6\frac{2}{3}}

Method 2.

\dfrac{a}{20}+\dfrac{14}{15}=\dfrac{9}{15}\ \ \ \ |subtract\ \dfrac{14}{15}\ form\ both\ sides\\\\\dfrac{a}{20}=-\dfrac{5}{15}\\\\\dfrac{a}{20}=-\dfrac{1}{3}\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 20\\\\\boxed{a=-\dfrac{20}{3}\to a=-6\frac{2}{3}}

3102 base 4 to base 2 *show work please*
Shalnov [3]
3102 base4 = 3x4^3+ 1x4^2 + 2x1 = 3x64 + 1x16 + 2 = 210 base10
The powers of 2 are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
210 = 128 + 64 + 16 + 2 = 2^7 + 2^6 + 2^4 + 2^1 = 11010010 base2

A faster method is to each digit in base 4 to two digits in base 2
3 base4 = 11 base2
1 base4 = 01 base2
0 base4 = 00 base2
2 base4 = 10 base2
So 3102 base4 = 11010010 base2

If you wanted to convert base 4 to (say) base 5 you would need the first method and convert to base 10 first
