Question

How do you solve `\frac { 1} { 6} a + 4= 7`?

Answer 1

`a = 18`

Explanation:

`1/6a + 4 = 7`

To solve for the variable `a`, we have to make it by itself. First, subtract `color(blue)4` from both sides of the equation:
`1/6a + 4 quadcolor(blue)(-quad4) = 7 quadcolor(blue)(-quad4)`

`1/6a = 3`

Now multiply both sides by `color(blue)6`:
`1/6a color(blue)(*6) = 3 quadcolor(blue)(*quad6)`

Therefore,
`a = 18`

Hope this helps!
