Question

3a/12-1/4=5a/12+1/2

Answer 1

maybe need some parentheses here to make it clear? or is it
\[\frac{3a}{12}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5z}{12}+\frac{1}{2}\]?

Answer 2

(3a+3)/12=(5a+6)/12
3a+3=5a+6
-2a=3
a=-3/2

Answer 3

it is 3a12−14=5z12+12

Answer 4

if so, multiply both sides by 12 carefully to get
\[3a-3=5a+6\]

Answer 5

then
\[-3-6=5a-3a\]
\[-9=2a\]
\[a=-\frac{9}{2}\]

Answer 6

thankyou so much
