The following equation is an example of a literal equation. 2(z + a) = 46
A Solve the glven equation for the variable a. In your final answer, Include all of your work.
B. In two or more complete sentences, explain the specific process that you followed in solving for a.

a)

b)

First of all, I divided both sides by 2, simplified, and then subtracted z from both sides. Then, I got the final result for 'a'.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Solving the equation

Given the expression

Divide both sides by 2

simplify

subtract z from both sides

Thus, the value of a:

b) Work Process

First of all, I divided both sides by 2, simplified, and then subtracted z from both sides. Then, I got the final result for 'a'.

it would open into a square depending on the type of envelope i’m not sure about the second part

i can answer this if i have the answer choices
