4 a⁴ - 2 b² + 40 :
4 * ( 2⁴) - 2 * ( 7²) + 40 =
4 * 16 - 2 * 49 + 40 =
64 - 98 + 40 =
-34 + 40 =
+ 6

We are asked that, which shape has four congruent sides and two sets of parallel side.
From the options, the answer is Rhombus.
4a-8=28
add 8 to both sides to start to isolate the variable (a)
-8+8 cancels each other out
28+8=36
4a=36
to completely isolate the variable divide both sides by 4
4a÷4=a
36÷4=9
a=9
