Question

6a - 4 = -2 what is the answer

Answer 1

Answer:
1/3

Explanation:
In the equation 6a - 4 = -2, you want a, so you’ll have to start by finding 6a. To find 6a, you’ll have to add 4 to both sides to remove to -4 on the RHS (right hand side). So the new equation would be 6a - 4 + 4= -2 + 4, which is 6a = 2. So now, to find a, you have to divide both sides by 6 to remove the 6 (in the 6a). So the equation would be (6a)/6 = 2/6, which is a = 2/6. Now simplify 2/6. Which is 1/3.

Answer 2

ANSWER: ⇒ ¹/₃

Solve the equation:

6a - 4 = -2

Rearrange variables to the left side of the equation:

6a = -2 + 4

Calculate the sum or difference:

6a = 2

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable:

a = ²/₆

Cross out the common factor:

a = ¹/₃
