Hi I really need help with this question and I don't know a thing about algebra!!! If anyone can help me understand this that would mean a lot! So here's my question.

Question

Brad says that the literal equation a = 3b + 4c - a is solved for a. Do you agree? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Once a is all by itself, expressed in terms of the other values, the equation has been solved for a.

That is not the case here, since a occurs on both sides of the equation.

Answer 2

Brad says that the literal equation a=3b+4c-s is solved for a. Do you agree?ehy or why not
