Hey there!☺
Equation
−4(10 − a) = 36 Simplify both sides
(−4)(10) + (−4)(−a) = 36 Distribute
−40 + 4a = 36
4a − 40 = 36
4a - 40 + 40 = 36 + 40 Add 40 to both sides
4a = 76
4a/4 = 76/4 Divide both sides by 4
76/4 = 19 Simplify 76/4
a = 19
Hope this helps!
3 + 5(c + 3) = -17
First, subtract 3 from both sides. / Your problem should look like:
Second, simplify -17 - 3 to get -20. / Your problem should look like:
Third, divide both sides by 5. / Your problem should look like:
Fourth, simplify
to 4. / Your problem should look like: 
Fifth, subtract 3 from both sides. / Your problem should look like:
Sixth, simplify -4 - 3 to get -7. / Your problem should look like:
