Question

Need help asap pleaseSolve -4A+2=-26

Answer 1

a = 7

Explanation:

The first step of this problem is isolating this variable. This means putting this variable on the side of the equation by itself.

We need to rearrange the equation to isolate the variable to solve the equation.

The unedited equation.

-4a+2=-26

Subtract 2 on both sides to remove it from the left side of the equation.

-4a + 2 - 2 = - 26 - 2

Combine like terms.

-4a = -28

Divide both sides by -4 to solve for a.

`(-4a)/(-4) = (-28)/(-4)`

-4a/-4 = 1a = a

-28/-4 = 7

a=7

Answer 2

Solving an equation

Step 1

Rearranging the terms so the terms with the unkown variable A are on the left side and the other ones on the right side:

- 4A + 2 = -26

↓

- 4A = -26 - 2

- 4A = -28

Step 2

Solving the equation for A

- 4A = -28

↓

A = -28/(-4)

A = 7

Answer: A=7
