4) - 8 - 3a = 46 whoever has best answer gets brainliest

a=-18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break this down step by step.

-8-3a=46

Since 3a has a variable, a, we want to get it by itself. So the first step is to do the inverse operation and add 8 on both sides. That leaves this equation:

-3a=54

The 3a is - 3a because of the subtraction sign in front. Now we divide on both sides because we want the variable, a, to be by itself. That leaves this simplified expression.

a=-18.

Now, let's work it out in context of the problem.

-8-3x-18=46

3x-18 is - 54, and - 8 - (-54), it would become 46.

A = - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

-8-3 (-18) = 46 = - 18
