2(a-4)=4a-(2a+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distribute 2(a-4) so you get 2a-8 Distribute the negative (-) sign so you get -2a+4 Now you have 2a-8=4a-2a+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now You want to combine like terms so you get 2a=2a+4 get the variable on one side so divide 2a by 2a Now you have a=4 Did that make any sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sorry forgot to finish problem is it a solution my bad im sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, well in that case, no it is not a solution because 2a-8 does not equal 2a-4
