Question

Solve the following equation for the variable a 2a+b=c-4d

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of the equation is $a=\frac{c-4d-b}{2}$.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

$2a+b=c-4d$

We need to solve the provided equation for a.

Subtract b from both side.  

$2a+b-b=c-4d-b$

$2a=c-4d-b$

Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{c-4d-b}{2}$

$a=\frac{c-4d-b}{2}$

Hence, the value of the equation is $a=\frac{c-4d-b}{2}$.  

Answer 2

2a+b=c-4d
a= c-4d-b/2
