Solve for A: 8A - 3 (A - 4) = - 3

What are the steps to get me this answer

You will first complete - 3 (A-4) = - 3A+12

You now have 8A-3A-12=-3

You will now subtract 8A-3A=5A

You now have 5A+12=-3

You will now subtract 12 from both sides 5A=-15

You will then divide 5 on both sides, and you will have your answer!

A = - 3

8A - 3 (A - 4) = - 3

8a-3a+12a=-3

17a=-3

a=-3/17
