Solve the following equation for A : 2A/3 = 8 + 4A
multiply each term by 3
2A = 24 + 12A
I am sure you can you take it from there.
Thanks! I think I got it!
To solve the equation for A, we need to isolate the variable A on one side of the equation.
Let's start by getting rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by the denominator, which is 3. This will cancel out the fraction on the left side.
3 * (2A/3) = 3 * (8 + 4A)
This simplifies to:
2A = 24 + 12A
Next, let's move all the terms with A to one side of the equation. We'll subtract 12A from both sides:
2A - 12A = 24 + 12A - 12A
This simplifies to:
-10A = 24
To isolate A, divide both sides of the equation by -10:
(-10A) / -10 = 24 / -10
This simplifies to:
A = -2.4
Therefore, the solution to the equation is A = -2.4.
