Question 481739
{{{8-2(1-4a)=6a}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8-2+8a=6a}}} Distribute.



{{{8a+6=6a}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{8a=6a-6}}} Subtract {{{6}}} from both sides.



{{{8a-6a=-6}}} Subtract {{{6a}}} from both sides.



{{{2a=-6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{a=(-6)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{a}}}.



{{{a=-3}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{a=-3}}}
