Solve (4a+2)=3/2

$$( 4 a + 2 ) = \frac { 3 } { 2 }$$

Solve for a

$$a=-\frac{1}{8}=-0.125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$4a=\frac{3}{2}-2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{4}{2}.

$$4a=\frac{3}{2}-\frac{4}{2}$$

Since \frac{3}{2} and \frac{4}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$4a=\frac{3-4}{2}$$

Subtract 4 from 3 to get -1.

$$4a=-\frac{1}{2}$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$a=\frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{4}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{4} as a single fraction.

$$a=\frac{-1}{2\times 4}$$

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$a=\frac{-1}{8}$$

Fraction \frac{-1}{8} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{8} by extracting the negative sign.

$$a=-\frac{1}{8}$$
