Question

24a - 22 = -4 (1 - 6a)

Please solve and show work

Answer 1

First distribute -4(1-6a) and simplify.

-4+24a

You get:

24a-22=-4+24a

Add 4 to both sides.

24a-18=24a

Subtract 24 from both sides.

Since it will leave you with 0, there is no solution

Answer 2

24a - 22 = -4(1 - 6a)

Simplify.

24a - 22 = -4 + 24a

Add 22 to both sides.

24a = -4 + 24a + 22

Simplify.

24a = 24a + 18

Subtract 24a from both sides.

24a - 24a = 18

Simplify.

0 = 18

Therefore, there are no solutions.
