6 - 4a = -10

PLEASE EXPLAIN ALL STEPS

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you are supposed to subtract both sides by 6 so you will get:

                                          6 - 4a = -10

                                         -6            -6

                                          -4a = -16

Then, you divide both sides by -4 to cancel out the -4 before the "a"

                                          -4a = -16

                                          -4      -4

Last, you will get a = 4 and that is your answer because when you divide a negative number by another negative number, you will get a positive number.
