Answer:
[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{a = 8}}}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sf{4a + 10 = 2a + 26}[/tex]
Move 2a to left hand side and change it's sign
Similarly, move 10 to right hand side and change it's sign
⇒[tex] \sf{4a - 2a =26 - 10}[/tex]
Collect like terms
⇒[tex] \sf{2a = 26 - 10}[/tex]
Subtract 10 from 26
⇒[tex] \sf{2a = 16}[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by 2
⇒[tex] \sf{ \frac{2a}{2} = \frac{16}{2} }[/tex]
Calculate
⇒[tex] \sf{a = 8}[/tex]
Hope I helped!
