Linear equation: 1/4a+1/3a+8=22

Answers

  1. Answer:
    a=24
    Step-by-step explanation:
    Start by subtracting 8 from both sides giving:
    1/4a+1/3a=14
    Then find a common denominator between the two a terms which is 12 giving:
    3/12a+4/12a=14
    Combine the two terms:
    7/12a=14
    Then divide by 7/12 giving you a=24
