Hello there! The answer to your question is a = 4.
To solve for a in the equation -4 + 4a = 12 you want to isolate, or separate, a from all of the equation's other values.
Our first step is to add 4 to both sides so the 4 cancels out on the left side.
-4+4 + 4a = 12+4
4a = 16
Next, we divide both sides by 4 to finish isolating a.
4/4a = 16/4
a = 4
Want to verify that this is correct? Place the value we found for a (4) into the equation in place of a and if it comes out as a true statement, the answer is correct.
-4 + 4(4) = 12
-4 + 16 = 12
12 = 12
Since 12 is in fact equal to 12, i can guarantee you that i have provided you with the correct answer. I hope this helps & have a great rest of your day! :)

Answer: 8 batches
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the number of batches she made, we can just use proportion to solve it. But first, we need to convert 5 1/3 to improper fraction
5 1/3 = 16/3
Then we can now use the proportion to solve
2/3 cups = 1 batch
16/3 cups = x (note:5 1/3=16/3)
cross multiply
2/3 × x = 16 /3
2x/ 3 = 16/3
we need to make x the subject of the formula, to do that we will multiply each side of the equation by 3/2
2/3 × 3/2 x = 16/3 × 3/2
6x /6 = 48 / 6
x = 8
Therefore she made 8 batches of cookies.
