Please help!!! Solve for A (equation in picture)

2 answers:

8 0

To solve this equation, you first need to get all the a's onto one side, because you want "a =", so you can add 2a
8 + 6a = -2a + 24
+ 2a
8 + 8a = 24
a is still not on its own yet, so we need to subtract 8 and then divide by 8:
8 + 8a = 24
- 8
8a = 16
÷ 8
a = 2
So your answer is a = 2, I hope this helps!

You group the like terms together
6a+2a=24-8
8a=16
a=16÷8
a=2

If you draw this as a diagram, you will see that it is a right angled triangle and the missing side is the hypotenuse (the longest side). To calculate this, you will need to use the right angle law:

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$
