Question

2 (a + 4) = 4 (a - 3)solve the equation

Any help would be appreciated, I am still learning. Thanks!

Answer 1

2 (3a - 4) - 2 (4a + 3) simplify
6a-8-8a-6, now combine like terms: -2a-14

2 (a + 4) = 4 (a - 3)solve the equation
2a+8=4a-12, 8=2a-12, 20=2a, a=10

Answer 2

Thank you for your help!
