Solve -2=3/2a

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

Solve for a

$$a = -\frac{4}{3} = -1\frac{1}{3} \approx -1.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by \frac{2}{3}, the reciprocal of \frac{3}{2}.

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

Express -2\times \frac{2}{3} as a single fraction.

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

Multiply -2 and 2 to get -4.

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

Fraction \frac{-4}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{4}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

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

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

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