Question

4 = 3а - 14 how do you get the problem set up

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: 4=3a-14 then you add 14 to both sides and to isolate 3a should it look like this 18=3a then you divide 3 and to isolate "a" and you should 6=a

hope this helped :D

Answer 2

a = 6

Explanation:

Switch the sides

`4=3a-14\\= 3a-14=4`

Group(right side)

`3a-14=4\\3a-14+14=4+14`

Simplify arithmetic

`3a=4+14\\3a=18`

Isolate "a"

`3a=18\\(3a)/(3)=(18)/(3)`

Simplify this improper fraction by splitting it into its least common multiples

`a=(6 * 3)/(1 * 3)`

Factor(Cancel GCF)

`a = 6`

Concerns, let me know, otherwise, have a great day!
