To solve the equation, subtract "three-fourths" from both sides:
|a| = -five-eighths + three-fourths
Next, find a common denominator for the fractions:
|a| = -ten-eighths + six-eighths
|a| = -four-eighths
Simplify the fraction:
|a| = -one-half
The solution is "one-half" or "-one-half".
|a| −three-fourths = −five-eighths
