Answer: a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a+3)=-4

Distribute

2a+6=-4

subtract the six with the four and you get -10

-6-4=-10

now divide 2a with -10

you get a= -5

you can plug the answer in

Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a + 3) = -4

2a + 6 = -4     Use the distributive property, distribute the 2 into (a + 3), meaning multiply the 2 by a and by 3.

2a = -10       Subtract 6 from both sides to isolate the a variable.

a = -5        Divide both sides by 2
