Solve for a in terms of b
\(3a+4b=a-8b+24\)
You are asked to rearrange this so that you have 'a' out the front by itself. The other side can have not a's in it.
Follow these steps, one at a time, to get your answer.
1) take 1a away from BOTH sides
2) take 4b away from BOTH sides
3)Divide BOTH sides by the number in front of the a (which should be 2)
4) there might be a little tidying to do on the right side but the left side just has 'a' now. That is what you want
