Question

Pleas help -2(a)=a-10/4

Answer 1

0.8333333333333333 (repeating)

Explanation:

Well first the point of this problem is to get "a" by it self so.

-2a = a - 10/4

remove the fraction by multiplying 4 on both sides.

-8a = 4a - 10

now move 4a over to the other side to isolate the 10.

-12a = -10

now divide to get a by it self

-10/-12 = 0.8333333 (repeating)

**Remember a negative divided by a negative is a positive.
