Answer:
a = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
–6(2 + a) = –48
Divide each side by -6
–6(2 + a) / -6 = –48/-6
2+a = 8
Subtract 2 from each side
2+a-2 = 8-2
a = 6
-6(2 + a) = -48
The -6 can be distributed.
-12 - 6a = -48
-6a = -48 + 12
-6a/-6 = -36/-6
Double negatives make a positive.
a = 6
The -6 can be distributed.
-12 - 6a = -48
-6a = -48 + 12
-6a/-6 = -36/-6
Double negatives make a positive.
a = 6
