Question 49599
Solve:
{{{3a/4 + 7/6 = -a + 7/24}}} Multiply through by 24 to clear the fractions.
{{{24(3a/4) + (24)7/6 = 24(-a) + (24)7/24}}} Simplify.
{{{18a + 28 = -24a + 7}}} Add 24a to both sides of the equation.
{{{42a + 28 = 7}}} Subtract 28 from both sides.
{{{42a = -21}}} Finally, divide both sides by 42.
{{{a = -21/42}}}
{{{a = -1/2}}}
