Answer:

a =6

Step-by-step explanation:

–6(2 + a) = –48

Distribute

-12 -6a = -48

Add 12 to each side using the addition property of equality

-12+12 -6a = -48+12

-6a = -36

Divide each side by -6 using the division property of equality

-6a/-6 = -36/-6

a = 6

Steps to solve:

-6(2 + a) = -48

~Distribute left side

-12 - 6a = -48

~Add 12 to both sides

-6a = -36

~Divide -6 to both sides

a = 6

Best of Luck!
