combine like terms:
a + 4 -2 +a
find out what a=
#pleaseandthankyou
people i dont have forever
a + 4 -2 +a
2a + 2
We can't find the value of a because you haven't posted an equation.
Patience!!
2 a + 2
with what you wrote we can combine like terms, but with no equation we can not calculate a value for a
To combine like terms, you need to add or subtract the numbers that have the same variable. In this case, we have two terms with the variable "a".
The expression is: a + 4 - 2 + a
To combine the terms with "a", we add the coefficients: 1a + 1a, which gives us 2a.
The simplified expression is: 2a + 4 - 2
Now, we can combine the remaining numbers:
2a + 4 - 2 = 2a + 2
If you want to find out what a equals, you would need more information or another equation that relates to the value of a. Without further context or equations, we cannot determine the exact value of a.
