Correct.
With these type of math problems, you cancel the division by multiplication. That totals: "a=20*7". If you do something on one side, you must do to the other side, so this is correct. Next, you solve by multiplying 20 and 7 together. This is "a=140". So, like what Ms. Sue said, "a=140" is correct for this problem.
