do you want to answer this one?

MAGABACK:

sure

MAGABACK:

ok I believe we need to do common denominators first for #1. So common denominator is 24. 2/24 -12/24 and -3/8 so the equation would be 2/24a-12/24=-3/24 then I think we add 12/24 to both sides to get 2/24a=9/24. Then I believe u divide by 2, and get a=4 1/24. right @toga?

MAGABACK:

I gtg so toga can help u with the others

It looks like you made a small mistake in your calculations. When you add 12/24 to both sides, you should get 2/24a = 9/24, which simplifies to 2/24a = 3/8, not 9/24. Then, when you divide by 2, you should get a = 3/4, not 4 1/24.
