Answer:
a = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Solve:
- 4(3a - 4) = 56
- 3a - 4 = 14 (factoring out 4)
- 3a = 18 (adding 4 to both sides)
- a = 6 (dividing by 3)
Another way:
- 4(3a - 4) = 56
- 12a - 16 = 56 (distributive property)
- 12a = 72 (moving like terms)
- a = 6 (dividing by 12)
Distributive Property of Multiplication:
The process of distributing the outside factor to the terms in the parenthesis.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In 5 liters, there is 4% salt.
Lets find liters of salt.
First, converting 4% to decimal (dividing by 100):
4% = 4/100 = 0.04
0.04 * 5 = 0.2
So, there is 0.2 liters of salt.
Now, x liters of water is added to total, so total is now:
5 + x
The concentration of salt will be amount of salt divided by amount of salt water solution.
Amount of salt = 0.2 (as seen above)
Amount of new salt water solution = x + 5
So,
Concentration of salt in new solution is
2nd choice is right.
