OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's a =?

OpenStudy (compassionate):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }a = 3\] Now, a is a variable. This is your "unknown," that you're trying to find. We can solve for "a" doing something called "Transposing." Basically, do solve an equation, do the opposite of everything to solve. In this case, if you multiply both sides by 4, you will have solved for a.
