Match each equation to the value of a that makes the equation true. 3 4 1 2 0 2a + 3(a + 1) = 8 arrowRight 3a − 2a − 4 = 0 arrowRight 6(2a − a + 1) = 24 arrowRight 4 + 3(a + 2) = 16 arrowRight

Explanation:

Part 1

2a + 3(a + 1) = 8

2a+3a+3=8

5a=8-3

5a=5

a=1

Part 2

3a − 2a − 4 = 0

a-4=0

a=4

Part 3

6(2a − a + 1) = 24

6(a+1)=24

Distribute the Left Hand Side

6a+6=24

Subtract 6 from both sides

6a=24-6

6a=18

Divide both sides by 6

a=3

Part 4

4 + 3(a + 2) = 16

Subtract 4 from both sides

3(a+2)=16-4

Distribute the Left Hand Side

3a+6=12

Subtract 6 from both sides

3a=12-6

3a=6

Divide both sides by 3

a=2

uh, the answer is d i guess.
