Question

Describe the steps you used to solve the equation and

find the amount of Carrie's allowance.
Linear equation: 1/4a+1/3a+8=22

Answer 1

a=24

Explanation:

Start by subtracting 8 from both sides giving:

1/4a+1/3a=14

Then find a common denominator between the two a terms which is 12 giving:

3/12a+4/12a=14

Combine the two terms:

7/12a=14

Then divide by 7/12 giving you a=24
