Solve the equation
for aB+6 = 10 Show each step used to solve for a and justify by giving the property used for each step.
To solve the equation aB + 6 = 10, we want to isolate the variable a by getting rid of the constant term 6.
1. Subtract 6 from both sides:
aB + 6 - 6 = 10 - 6
aB = 4
(Used the subtraction property of equality.)
2. Divide both sides by B:
aB/B = 4/B
a = 4/B
(Used the division property of equality.)
Therefore, the solution to the equation is a = 4/B, where B is any non-zero value.
