Simplify any fractions. 11a+2=9a+4 2a+2=4 Add 9a to both sides Subtract 9a from both sides Multiply both sides by 9a Divide both sides by 9a Apply the distributive property 2a= Subtract 2 from both sides a= Divide both sides by 2

Answer 1

11a + 2 = 9a + 4 ( Subtract 9a from both sides)

11a - 9a + 2 = 9a - 9a + 4

2a + 2 = 4 (Subtract 2 from both sides)

2a + 2 - 2 = 4 - 2

2a = 2 (Divide both sides by 2)

2a/2 = 2/2

a = 1

Explanation:

Simplify any fractions.

11a + 2 = 9a + 4

2a + 2= 4

We simplify as shown below

11a + 2 = 9a + 4 ( Subtract 9a from both sides)

11a - 9a + 2 = 9a - 9a + 4

2a + 2 = 4 (Subtract 2 from both sides)

2a + 2 - 2 = 4 - 2

2a = 2 (Divide both sides by 2)

2a/2 = 2/2

a = 1
