Question

8 = 3a + 4...Anyone know the answer??

Answer 1

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)`.

Answer 2

8 = 3a + 4

4=3a

4/3=a

hope this helps

have a good day :)
