Distribute the 2
2a+8+6a=48
Add the like terms
8a+8=48
Subtract 8 from both sides
8a=40
Divide both sides by 8
a=5
2a+8+6a=48
Add the like terms
8a+8=48
Subtract 8 from both sides
8a=40
Divide both sides by 8
a=5
remove parenthesis , collect like terms, move constance to the right, calculate, divide both sides. a=5
