1. (3/4)q-12=4

Add 12 to both sides of the equation
(3/4)q = 4 + 12

Combine terms
(3/4)q = 16

Multiply both sides by 4
3q = 16*4

Divide both sides by 3
3q = 64

q = 64/3

2. (1/3)a-6=(2/3)a+6

multiply through by 3
a-(3)6=(2)a+(3)6
a-18 = 2a +18

add "-a" to both sides of the equation
-18 = a + 18

solve for a
a = -36
