Question

4a−2(3a+8)=6 what is the answer

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{a = - 11}}}}}`

Explanation:

`\sf{4a - 2(3a + 8) = 6}`

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{4a - 6a - 16 = 6}}`

Collect like terms

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 2a - 16 = 6}}`

Move 16 to right hand side and change it's sign

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 2a = 6 + 16}}`

Add the numbers: 6 and 16

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 2a = 22}}`

Divide both sides by 2

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ ( - 2a)/( - 2) = (22)/( - 2)}}`

Calculate

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{a = - 11}}`

Hope I helped !
