Question

3-1/8a=1/4 Pleasseeee help

Answer 1

3 - 1/8a = 1/4

The goal is to isolate "a" and its coefficient to make the simplification process easier.

Start by subtracting 3 from both sides:

3 - 3 - 1/8a = 1/4 -3

-1/8a = 1/4 - 3

Next, multiply 3 by 4/4 to convert it into a fraction:

-1/8a = 1/4 - [3 • (4/4)]

-1/8a = 1/4 - 12/4

-1/8a = - 11/4

Multiply both sides by -8:

(-8) -1/8a = - 11/4 (-8)

a = 88/4 = 22

Therefore, a = 22.

Answer 2

a = 22 the correct answer
