Question

2) -84 = 6(4a – 2) A) {2} C) No solution. B) {1} D) -3)

Answer 1

In this question, you're solving for a.

Solve for a:

-84 = 6(4a - 2)

Distribute the 6 to the variables inside the parenthesis

-84 = 24a - 12

Add 12 to both sides

-72 = 24a

Divide both sides by 24

-3 = a

This means that answer choice D would be the correct answer.

Answer:

D). -3
