-12=16a Solve for A

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am terrible at solving. I was thinking either subtraction or division.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But besides that I don't know.

OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):

Divide both sides by 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could it be -3/4?

OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):

yes that is correct ^_^

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or would I write it as -0.75?

OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):

\[a = - \frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\]

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

either

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
