Question 30
<pre>
    {{{2A/3=8+4A}}} What is A?
The common denominator is 3, so we multiply every term through by 3:
{{{3*(2A/3)=3*8+3*4A}}}
Now the 3's cancel on the left and we have
      {{{2A = 24+12A}}}
Now we subtract 12A from both sides
  {{{2A-12A = 24}}}
combine the 2A and the -12A on the left, getting -10A
   {{{-10A = 24}}}
Now we divide both sides by -10 to get A:
   {{{A = -24/10}}}
Reduce the fraction:
   {{{A = -12/5}}} or if you prefer {{{A = -2.4}}}
