Answer:
The gradient is the same as the slope. To find the slope, let's convert this from standard form to slope-intercept form.
4x - 3y + 5 = 0
4x + 5 = 3y
4/3x + 5/3 = y therefore the answer is 4/3.
If you're solving for a, you would add 32 to both sides
2a=32
then you would divide by 2
a=16
So eight (8) less than (3) times a number ( 8 - 3x) is (=) twice the sum of x (2x) and (4) so the answer would be 8 - 3x = 2x + 4
