Answer:
a = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Solve:
- 4(3a - 4) = 56
- 3a - 4 = 14 (factoring out 4)
- 3a = 18 (adding 4 to both sides)
- a = 6 (dividing by 3)
Another way:
- 4(3a - 4) = 56
- 12a - 16 = 56 (distributive property)
- 12a = 72 (moving like terms)
- a = 6 (dividing by 12)
Distributive Property of Multiplication:
The process of distributing the outside factor to the terms in the parenthesis.
Example:
Using hit and trial, you van find it pretty easily-
- Putting x=0, we get y=-3
- Putting x=1, we get y=-1
- Putting x=2, we get y=5
You can try it for yourself as well, for me, I couldn't find any other option appropriate.
