-5(a + 3) = -55
(a + 3)(-5) = -55
(a + 3) (-5)/-5 = -55/ (-5)
a + 3 = 11
a + 3 (-3) = 11 (-3)
a = 8
hope this helps

To answer this you need to scale the number of cups of flour up from 3/4 to 1 that ratio would be 4/3 (multiplying a fraction by its own reciprocal will give you 1).
We can then simply take that ratio, and scale the sugar by the same amount:
1/3 * 4/3 = 4/9
