4(2+a)=24 what is the answer

Given:

4(2 + a)= 24

Use Distributive Property:

8 + 4a = 24

Subtract 8 to both sides:

4a = 16

Divide 4 to both sides:

a = 4

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
