Question

4(a + 4) = 2(a + 10)
Someone solve pls.

Answer 1

The value of a is 2.

Explanation:

First, you have to expand using distributive law :

`4(a + 4) = 2(a + 10)`

`4a + 16 = 2a + 20`

Next, you have to move all the common terms to one side :

`4a - 2a = 20 - 16`

`2a = 4`

Lastly, you have to solve it by dividing:

`a = 4 / 2`

`a = 2`

Answer 2

a=2

Explanation:

4a+16=2a+20

2a=4

a=2
