Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

equation given:   a - 2(4 - a) = 7a - 12

distribute and expand the equation

a - 8 + 2a = 7a - 12

combine similar terms:

a + 2a - 7a = -12 + 8

simplify:

-4a = -4

a = -4 / -4

a = 1

proof that a = 1

a - 2(4 - a) = 7a - 12

1 - 2(4 - 1) = 7(1) - 12

1 - 2(3) = 7 - 12

1 - 6 = -5

-5 = -5  therefore, the a = 1 is correct.

Steps to solve:

a - 2(4 - a) = 7a - 12

~Distribute left side

a - 8 - 2a = 7a - 12

~Combine like terms on the left side

-a - 8 = 7a - 12

~Add 8 to both sides

-a = 7a - 4

~Subtract 7a to both sides

-8a = -4

~Divide -8 to both sides

a = 1/2

Best of Luck!
