Given:
G = 2 + 4a
To make a subject of the equation, first step is subtract 2 from both sides:
[tex]G\text{ - 2 = 2 -2 + 4a}[/tex][tex]G\text{ - 2 = 4a}[/tex]The next step is to divide both sides by 4:
[tex]\frac{G\text{ - 2}}{4}\text{ = }\frac{4a}{4}[/tex][tex]\frac{G\text{ - 2}}{4}\text{ = a}[/tex]Therfore,
[tex]\text{ a = }\frac{G\text{ - 2}}{4}[/tex]
