Question

4(3A - 4)=56 what is the variable for A?

Pls show the steps {Thanks}

Answer 1

A = 6

Explanation:

First, use the distributive property on the left side:

`4(3A - 4) =56\\12A - 16 = 56`

Add 16 to both sides

`12A = 72`

divide both sides by 12

`A = 6`

Answer 2

4(3A - 4) = 56
first distribute 4
12A - 16 = 56
then add 16
12A = 72
finally, divide by 12
A = 6
