Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

use the distributive property first; distribute 4 TO a+2

4(a+2) = 4a+8

once you have got your answer, make the new equation

4a + 8= - 4

Now, solve the equation

4a + 8= - 4

4a = -4-8

4a = -12

a = -12/4 ( always remember to put the sign )

a = -3

Solve by the substitution method y=3x-12 2x-3y=-13

Neporo4naja [7]

y=3x-12
2x-3y=-13
substitute y=3x-12 into 2x-3y=-13

2x-3y=-13
2x-3(3x-12)=-13
2x - 9x + 36 = -13
-7x = -49
x = 7

y=3x-12 = y=3(7) -12 = 21 - 12 = 9

answer
solution
x = 7 and y = 9
