4a+11-a=2

what does a equal solve and check

You would first simplify the question. 4a-a=3a

3a+11=2

Then you would subtract 11 from both sides.

3a=-9

Then divide 3 on both sides.

a=-3.

You can check by putting it in the equation.

4 (-3) + 11 - (-3) = 2

-12+11+3=2

2=2

4a+11-a=2. You're going to now subtract a from 4a and you get 4a+11=2.

Next, subrtact 11 from 2 and you get 4a=-9.

Divide 9 by for and you get a=9/4 or 1 3/4.
