Question

4(a + 2) = -4
whats A

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

The answer is -3 because -3+2=-1 then -1(4)=-4
