DIRECTIONS:
simplify your answer, solve the equation
-2a+7/8 - 6a-2/2 - a+3/2 =0

You can put this solution on YOUR website! simplify your answer, solve the equation
-2a+7/8 - 6a-2/2 - a+3/2 =0
a= ??
------------------
(-2a+7)/8 - (6a-2)/2 -(a+3)/2 = 0
-----
Please notice that you need to use parenthesis when you post a problem.
---------------
If this is your problem, multiply thru by 8 to get:
(2a+7) - 4(6a-2) -8(a+3) = 0
---
2a+7 -24a + 8 -8a -24 = 0
---
(2a-24a-8a)+(7+8-24) = 0
---------
-30a - 9 = 0
---
30a = -9
---
a = -3/10
