Question

-12 + 8a = -a + 6(2a - 2)

Answer 1

`a=0`

Explanation:

Given Equation:

`-12 + 8a = -a + 6(2a - 2)`

In the given equation we have to find the value of 'a'.

The value of 'a' can be find by taking the terms of 'a' to one side and the constants to the other side which will give the value of 'a'.

`-12 + 8a = -a + 6(2a - 2)`

`-12 + 8a = -a + 12a - 12\\\\8a+a-12a=-12+12\\\\-3a=0\\\\a=0`

For the equation the value of 'a' is a=0

Answer 2

0

Explanation:

-12+8a=-a+6(2a-2)

-12+8a=-a+12a-12

-12+8a=11a-12

8a-11a=-12+12

-3a=0

Dividing both sides by -3

a=0
