Question

-6*(8а-1)-2*(3а-7)=-34

Answer 1

-48a+6-6a+14=-34
-54a=-34-6-14
-54a=-54
a=-54/-54
a=1

Answer 2

Let's solve the equation step by step:

-6*(8a - 1) - 2*(3a - 7) = -34

First, we'll simplify the expressions inside the parentheses:

-6 * 8a + 6 - 2 * 3a + 14 = -34

Next, we'll simplify the multiplication:

-48a + 6 - 6a + 14 = -34

Now, we'll combine like terms:

-54a + 20 = -34

To isolate the variable term, we'll subtract 20 from both sides:

-54a = -54

Finally, we'll divide both sides by -54 to solve for "a":

a = 1

Therefore, the value of "a" that satisfies the equation is 1.
