4 (a + 2) = - 4

whats A

Step-by-step explanation:

use the distributive property first; distribute 4 TO a+2

4 (a+2) = 4a+8

once you have got your answer, make the new equation

4a + 8 = - 4

Now, solve the equation

4a + 8 = - 4

4a = - 4-8

4a = - 12

a = - 12/4 (always remember to put the sign)

a = - 3

The answer is - 3 because - 3+2=-1 then - 1 (4) = -4
