Question

Solve for a
4(a+2) = 8+40

Answer 1

Hi!

your answer should be:

A=10

Reason being: 10+2=12, and 12x4=48. 8+40=48 as well.

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

Do 40+8 first which is 48. then you think "what times four is 48" which is 12. so you need to add something to 2 to make 12. which is 10. A=10 :)
