Answer 2

`a= (-52-b)/(4)`

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation so b is the independent variable.

To get 'b' as a independent variable , we need to get 'a' alone

WE need to solve for 'a' so that 'a' depends on variable b and 'b' becomes independent variable

4a+b=−52

To get 'a' alone , subtract 'b' from both sides

4a = -52-b

Divide by 4 on both sides

`a= (-52-b)/(4)`
