Answer:
11/6
Step-by-step explanation:
so you have to start out by distributing the -2/3 to get
[tex] - \frac{2}{3} a - \frac{7}{3} = - \frac{227}{36} + \frac{3}{2} a[/tex]
then you would bring the a terms to the same side and the constants to same side to get
[tex] \frac{143}{36} = \frac{13}{6} a[/tex]
then you have to isolate a by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 13/6, which is 6/13 to get
[tex] \frac{11}{6} = a[/tex]
