Question

Determine which value in the given set is the solution: {-5,-4,-3); 2( 4- a) =16 2 points a = 2 a= - 2 a= - 4 a = 4

Answer 1

The solution to the equation is a = -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 2(4-a) = 16. We can solve this equation to find the value of 'a' that satisfies the equation.

Distribute 2 to the terms inside the parentheses: 8 - 2a = 16. Subtract 8 from both sides: -2a = 8. Divide both sides by -2: a = -4.

Therefore, the solution to the equation is a = -4.
