Step 1: Rewrite the equation
24a - 22 = -4(1 - 6a)
Step 2: Distribute in the second half of the equation
24a -22 = -4(1 - 6a)
24a -22 = -4 + 24a
Step 3: To get a alone on the left side, add 22 to each side
24a - 22 = -4 + 24a
+ 22 +22
_______________
24a = 18 + 24a
Step 4: With the aim to get a alone on one side, and a number alone on the other, subtract 24 on both sides
24a = 18 + 24a
-24a = - 24a
____________
0a = 18
Step 5: Divide 0 on both sides, to get a alone
0a = 18
__ __
0 0
______
a = 0
Step 6: The answer is a = 0
