Solve for a and simplify your answer. −22=3/2a

Answer 1

To solve for a, we will first multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get rid of the fraction:

-22 = 3/2a
2*(-22) = 2*(3/2a)
-44 = 3a

Next, we will divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate the variable a:

-44/3 = 3a/3
a = -44/3

Therefore, the simplified answer for a is a = -44/3, which is equivalent to -14 2/3 or -14.67.
