Question

Solve the following equation for the variable a 2a+b=c-4d

Answer 1

2a+b=c-4d
a= c-4d-b/2

Answer 2

The value of the equation is
`a=(c-4d-b)/(2)`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`2a+b=c-4d`

We need to solve the provided equation for a.

Subtract b from both side.

`2a+b-b=c-4d-b`

`2a=c-4d-b`

Divide both sides by 2.

`(2a)/(2)=(c-4d-b)/(2)`

`a=(c-4d-b)/(2)`

Hence, the value of the equation is
`a=(c-4d-b)/(2)`.
