Full solution

Q. Solve for a a .\newline1112a=97 11-12 a=-97 \newlineAnswer: a= a=
  1. Identify Operation: Which operation should be used to isolate aa?\newlineIn 1112a=9711 - 12a = -97, we should first subtract 1111 from both sides to isolate the term containing aa.\newlineSubtract 1111 from both sides: 1112a11=971111 - 12a - 11 = -97 - 11
  2. Subtract and Isolate: Find the value of aa after subtraction.\newline12a=9711-12a = -97 - 11\newline12a=108-12a = -108\newlineNow, divide both sides by 12-12 to solve for aa.
  3. Calculate Value: Calculate the value of aa.12a12=10812\frac{-12a}{-12} = \frac{-108}{-12}a=9a = 9
