Question

What is 4(2 + a) = 24 a=

Answer 1

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange terms:

4(2 + a) = 24a

4(a + 2) = 24a

Distrbute:

4(a + 2) = 24a

4a + 8 = 24a

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

4a + 8 = 24a

4a + 8-8 = 24a-8

Simplify:

4a = 24a - 8

Subtract 24a from both sides of the equation:

4a = 24a - 8

4a - 24a = 24a - 8 - 24a

Combine like terms:

-20a = -8

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term:

-20a = -8

-20a/-20 = -8/-20

Simplify:

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

a = 2/5

I hope that helps! :D
