Question

2 + a/4 = -1

Answer 1

are you looking for a ?

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

if so, then multiply everything by the common denominator which is 4

2(4) + (a/4)(4) = -1(4)
8 + a = -4 --- subtract 8 from both sides
a = -4 - 8
a = - 12

check..
2 + a/4 = -1
2 + (-12/4) = -1
2 - 3 = -1
-1 = -1 (correct)

a is gonna be equal to -12
any questions ?

Answer 4
