Question 892057
{{{2-3(a-4)=2a}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2-3a+12=2a}}} Distribute.



{{{14-3a=2a}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-3a=2a-14}}} Subtract {{{14}}} from both sides.



{{{-3a-2a=-14}}} Subtract {{{2a}}} from both sides.



{{{-5a=-14}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{a=(-14)/(-5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-5}}} to isolate {{{a}}}.



{{{a=14/5}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{a=14/5}}}
