Question

Help with the step by step

Answer 1

Step 1: Rewrite the equation

24a - 22 = -4(1 - 6a)

Step 2: Distribute in the second half of the equation

24a -22 = -4(1 - 6a)
24a -22 = -4 + 24a

Step 3: To get a alone on the left side, add 22 to each side

24a - 22 = -4 + 24a
+ 22 +22
_______________
24a = 18 + 24a

Step 4: With the aim to get a alone on one side, and a number alone on the other, subtract 24 on both sides

24a = 18 + 24a
-24a = - 24a
____________
0a = 18

Step 5: Divide 0 on both sides, to get a alone

0a = 18
__ __
0 0
______
a = 0

Step 6: The answer is a = 0

Answer 2

Explanation:

First, distribute the -4 to the parenthesis:

24a-22=-4+24a

Add 22 to both sides:

24a-22+22=-4+22+24a

Simplify:

24a=18+24a

Subtract 24a from both sides:

24a-24a=18+24a-24a

Simplify:

0=18
