Question

What is the value of a in the equation a = 2 + 3a + 6? (1 point)

Select one:
a. −8
b. −4
c. 4
d. 8

Answer 1

Answer is B.

Move +3a to the other side and it becomes -3a. Then solve for -2x=8

Therefore, x=-4

Answer 2

b.

Explanation:

We have the following equation with the following form of solution:

a = 2+3a+6

a - 3a = 2+6

-2a = 8

a = 8/(-2)

a = -4.
