I dont completely know but it might be 3
One-fourth of 12 bottles of water would equal 3 bottles of water
Simplifying
8a + 12b = 92
Solving
8a + 12b = 92
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-12b' to each side of the equation.
8a + 12b + -12b = 92 + -12b
Combine like terms: 12b + -12b = 0
8a + 0 = 92 + -12b
8a = 92 + -12b
Divide each side by '8'.
a = 11.5 + -1.5b
Simplifying
a = 11.5 + -1.5b
