Simplify
9−14a3
Reduce fractions to a common denominator
14a9×14a−14a3
Write all numerators above the common denominator
14a9×14a−3
Multiply the terms
14a126a−3
14a126a−3=0
Cross multiply
126a−3=14a×0
Simplify the equation
126a−3=0
Move the constant to the right side
126a=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
126a=3
Divide both sides
126126a=1263
Divide the numbers
a=1263
Cancel out the common factor 3
a=421
Check if the solution is in the defined range
a=421,a=0
Solution
a=421
