STEPS FOR SOLVING LINEAR EQUATION:

4(2a+3) = 36

Divide both sides by 4.

2a+3= [tex]\frac{36}{4}[/tex]

​ Divide 36 by 4 to get 9.

2a+3=9

Subtract 3 from both sides.

2a=9−3

Subtract 3 from 9 to get 6.

2a=6

Divide both sides by 2.

a= [tex]\frac{6}{2}[/tex]

​Divide 6 by 2 to get 3.

Answer: a=3

                                                                    where there's a will, there is a way

Distribute 4 to 2a and 3
4(2a+3) = 36
8a + 12 = 36
Subtract 12 from 12 and 36
12-12=0
36-12 = 24
Divide 8a and 24 by 8
Answer a = 3
