Q. Solve for a a . Express your answer as a proper or improper fraction in simplest terms.\newline78=711a+18 -\frac{7}{8}=\frac{7}{11} a+\frac{1}{8} \newlineAnswer: a= a=
  1. Isolate variable term: First, we need to isolate the term containing the variable aa on one side of the equation. To do this, we will subtract (1/8)(1/8) from both sides of the equation to eliminate the constant term on the right side.\newline(7/8)(1/8)=(7/11)a+(1/8)(1/8)-(7/8) - (1/8) = (7/11)a + (1/8) - (1/8)
  2. Combine like terms: Now, we combine the like terms on the left side of the equation.\newline7818=88=1-\frac{7}{8} - \frac{1}{8} = -\frac{8}{8} = -1\newlineSo, the equation becomes:\newline1=711a-1 = \frac{7}{11}a
  3. Divide by (7/11)(7/11): Next, we will divide both sides of the equation by (7/11)(7/11) to solve for aa.1/(7/11)=a-1 / (7/11) = a
  4. Multiply by reciprocal: To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of (711)(\frac{7}{11}) is (117)(\frac{11}{7}).\newline1×(117)=a-1 \times (\frac{11}{7}) = a
  5. Perform multiplication: Now, we perform the multiplication to find the value of aa.a=1×(117)=(117)a = -1 \times (\frac{11}{7}) = -(\frac{11}{7})
