What is the value of a in the equation 4a + 3(a + 1) = 24?
2
3
7
21

Option (2) is correct.

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given  : equation  4a + 3(a + 1) = 24

We have to solve for a and choose the correct option from the given options.

Consider the given equation  4a + 3(a + 1) = 24

Multiply each term in bracket with 3, we have,

4a + 3a + 3 = 24

Adding 4a and 3a , we have,

7a + 3 = 24

Subtract 3 both sides, we have,

7a + 3 - 3 = 24 - 3

Simplify,

7a= 21

Divide both side by 7, we have,

a = 3

Thus, option (2) is correct.

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
