-1/4a - 4 =4
what does a =

a = -32

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/4a - 4 =4

Add 4 to each side

-1/4a - 4+4 =4+4

-1/4a = 8

Multiply each side by -4 to isolate a

-1/4 a * -4 = 8 *-4

a = -32

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

4

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
