Question

2/3a =-24 solve for A

Answer 1

36

Explanation:

Solve for A:

Divide 2/3 from both sides to get a. The left side cancels 2/3 out and 24 divided by 2/3 is 24/1 times 3/2 is 72/2. 72/2 is equivalent to 36.

Answer 2

-36 or -1/36

Explanation:

(2/3)a = -24

a = -24×3/2 = -36

If it's 2/(3a) = -24

3a = 2/-24

3a = -1/12

a = -1/36

Always put a bracket to avoid confusion
