Answer 1 · 2018-03-06T14:26:01

the answer is $a = - 7$ $a=-7$

Explanation:

distribute $8$ $8$ to the inside equation next to it
$- 348 = - 4 a + 48 a - 40$ $-348=-4a+48a-40$
combine like terms
$- 348 = 44 a - 40$ $-348=44a-40$
add $40$ $40$
$- 308 = 44 a$ $-308=44a$
divide $44$ $44$ to both sides
$a = - 7$ $a=-7$

$a = - 7$ $color(blue)(a = -7$

Explanation:

$- 4 a + 8 (6 a - 5) = - 348$ $-4a + 8 (6a - 5) = -348$

$- 4 a + 48 a - 40 = - 348$ $-4a + 48a - 40 = -348$ Removing the bracket.

$44 a = - 348 + 40 = - 308$ $44a = -348 + 40 = -308$

$a = - (cancel(308)^color(red)(7)) / (cancel( 44)$

$color(blue)(a = -7$
