Answer:

a = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Solve:

  • 4(3a - 4) = 56
  • 3a - 4 = 14          (factoring out 4)
  • 3a = 18               (adding 4 to both sides)
  • a = 6                   (dividing by 3)

Another way:

  • 4(3a - 4) = 56
  • 12a - 16 = 56        (distributive property)
  • 12a = 72               (moving like terms)
  • a = 6                    (dividing by 12)

Distributive Property of Multiplication:

The process of distributing the outside factor to the terms in the parenthesis.

Example:

[tex]4(3a - 4)\\\\4(3a) - 4(4)\\\\12a - 16[/tex]
