\frac{\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{8}}{\frac{3}{2}a}=y
Combine a and \frac{a}{2} to get \frac{3}{2}a.
\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{8\times \frac{3}{2}a}=y
Express \frac{\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{8}}{\frac{3}{2}a} as a single fraction.
\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{12a}=y
Multiply 8 and \frac{3}{2} to get 12.
a\sqrt{3}=y\times 12a
Variable a cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 12a.
\sqrt{3}a=12ay
Reorder the terms.
\sqrt{3}a-12ay=0
Subtract 12ay from both sides.
\left(\sqrt{3}-12y\right)a=0
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(-12y+\sqrt{3}\right)a=0
The equation is in standard form.
a=0
Divide 0 by \sqrt{3}-12y.
a\in \emptyset
Variable a cannot be equal to 0.
