Answer:

Hey there!

Explanation:

Equation: 1/4a + 1/a + 8 = 22

(The answer is 24)

(You have to do 3 steps in order to solve this question! The steps are below!)

~1. First you have to simplify both sides of the equation.

=> (1/4a + 1/3a) + (8) = 22

=> 7/12a + 8 = 22

~2. Next, subtract 8 from both of the sides.

After you do that you will get, 14

7/12a=14

~3. Lastly, you just multiply both sides by 12/7.

(12/7) x (7/12a)

(12/7) x (14)

~Therefore, A would equal to 24.

A=24

~Hope this helps!

~Good luck! :)

~If you still don’t understand, ask for help! (I would be glad to answer any questions you have! :D )
