Hi,

Solve for a

%283%2F4%29%2Fg=%287-a%29g+       

3%2F%284g%29+=%287-a%29g+   1st Step: left side:  Multiply numerator and denominator by 4

3%2F%284g%5E2%29+=7-a+

+a+=+7+-+3%2F%284g%5E2%29+

You want to get just a on one side
first you have to multiply out (7-a)g to 7g-7a
3/4/g=7g-7a
get rid of any term that does not have a in it.
3/4/g=7g=-7a
now get rid of the -7
(3/4/g=7g)/-7=a
