Question

Solve for A, 4(2a+3)=-3(a-1)+31

Answer 1

4(2a+3)=−3(a−1)+31
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.4(2a+3)=−3(a−1)+31(4)(2a)+(4)(3)=(−3)(a)+(−3)(−1)+31(Distribute)8a+12=−3a+3+318a+12=(−3a)+(3+31)(Combine Like Terms)8a+12=−3a+348a+12=−3a+34Step 2: Add 3a to both sides.8a+12+3a=−3a+34+3a11a+12=34Step 3: Subtract 12 from both sides.11a+12−12=34−1211a=22Step 4: Divide both sides by 11.11a1/1=22/11
the answer is a=2
