Answer:


\boxed{A=6}\checkmark

The answer should have positive sign.

Explanation:

First you do is divide by -6 from both sides of an equation.


(-6(2+a))/(-6)=(-48)/(-6)

Then, simplify and solve the problem.


-48/-6=8


2+a=8

Next, you switch sides.


a+2=8

You subtract by 2 from both sides of an equation./


a+2-2=8-2

Finally, solve/simplify.


8-2=6

A=6 is the correct answer.

Hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)
