What is the solution to the equation -2( 1 + 5a) = -6(a + 3) ? a =

Answer 1

So you want to start by distributing. Remember to distribute the negative sign through!

-2 - 10a = -6a -18

Then get like terms on the same sides!

4a = 16 or -4a = -16 (you should get one of these two).

Dive both sides by 4 to get the a by itself

a = 4 should be your answer:)
