4a-2=10 - (a+2) how do i solve this

4a=a6

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is simplify using the correct rules.

4a - 2 = 10 - (a + 2) (Make both numbers in parenthese negative)

4a - 2 = 10 - a - 2 (add 2 to both sides)

4a = 10 - a (add a to both sides)

5a = 10 (divide both sides by five)

a = 2
