Question

describe the steps you used to solve the equation and find the amount of carries allowance. linear equation: 1/4a+1/3a+8=22

Answer 1

1/4a + 1/3a +8 =22

1st step add like terms:

1/4a +1/3a = 3/12a +4/12a = 7/12a

7/12a +8 =22

2nd step subtract 8 from each side:

7/12a = 14

3rd step divide both sides by 7/12 to get a:

a = 14 / 7/12

a = 24

Answer 2

Answer:

.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4a + 1/3a +8 =22

1st step add like terms:

1/4a +1/3a = 3/12a +4/12a = 7/12a

7/12a +8 =22

2nd step subtract 8 from each side:

7/12a = 14

3rd step divide both sides by 7/12 to get a:

a = 14 / 7/12

a = 24
