A^8 * b^12
The exponent 4 is distributed to the other exponents within the parenthesis by multiplication.
a^2*4 * b^3*4
a^8 * b^12
Answer:
a = (-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly clear the bracket...,
-6(-2 + a) = 12 - 6a
Then substitute the simplified version in place of bracket...,
; 12 - 6a = 54
; -6a = 54 - 12
; -6a = 42...then divide both sides by (-6)
Therefore...., a = (-7)
