Question

How would I solve this? 6 = a/4 + 2

Answer 1

Answer: a equals 16

Step-by-step explanation: so you need it to to equal 6 so 4x4 makes 16 so 16/4 makes 4 plus 2 makes 6

Answer 2

a = 16

Explanation:

first, get rid/ cancled out the number by a so it can stand alone.

6 = a/4 + 2

-2 -2 (since it is positive we have to subtract it)

then, we multiply 4 on both sides, so the 4 gets canclled out.

4 x 4 = a/4 x 4

16 = a

now we check by replacing a in the equation with 16.

6 = 16/4 + 2

6 = 4 + 2

6 = 6 . that means it is correct.
