Question

Solve and find the value of a, given 3a + 4(15-2a) = 20
A) a = 
B) a = 7 
C) a = 5 
D) a = -1 
E) a = 8

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We can solve for a by simplifying the equation:

3a + 4(15-2a) = 20
3a + 60 - 8a = 20
-5a + 60 = 20
-5a = -40
a = 8

Therefore, the value of a is 8, which corresponds to choice letter E.
