Answer:

a =
(4)/(3)

Explanation:

To solve for a, you must isolate it (variables on one side, constants on the other):

8 = 3a + 4 (starting equation)

8 - 4 = 3a + 4 - 4 (subtract 4 from both sides)

4 = 3a + 0 (calculate)

4 = 3a (no need to write +0)


(4)/(3) =
(3a)/(3) (divide both sides by 3)


(4)/(3) = a (simplify -- 3/3 = 1)

So, a =
(4)/(3).
