Hey there!☺


Answer:\boxed{a=19}


Explanation:


-4(10-a)=36 Equation

−4(10 − a) = 36 Simplify both sides

(−4)(10) + (−4)(−a) = 36 Distribute

−40 + 4a = 36

4a − 40 = 36

4a - 40 + 40 = 36 + 40 Add 40 to both sides

4a = 76

4a/4 = 76/4 Divide both sides by 4

76/4 = 19 Simplify 76/4

a = 19

Hope this helps!
