Solve the equation for a.
2(a + 1) = 6
+
a = [?]

a=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2(a+1)=6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(a+1)=6

(2)(a)+(2)(1)=6(Distribute)

2a+2=6

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

2a+2−2=6−2

2a=4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2a /2 = 4 /2

a=2

c: y > - 1/6x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

dashed line - meaning this < or > also not equal

solid line - meaning this < or > also equal

your answer is c because y > means up & it's shaded up, but y < means down

hope this ! : )
