Solve for a
3(4a + 4) = 3a + 8a + 1 + 8

a=−3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3(4a+4)=3a+8a+1+8

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(4a+4)=3a+8a+1+8

(3)(4a)+(3)(4)=3a+8a+1+8(Distribute)

12a+12=3a+8a+1+8

12a+12=(3a+8a)+(1+8)(Combine Like Terms)

12a+12=11a+9

12a+12=11a+9

Step 2: Subtract 11a from both sides.

12a+12−11a=11a+9−11a

a+12=9

Step 3: Subtract 12 from both sides.

a+12−12=9−12

a=−3

a=−3
