Answer:
6 = a
Step-by-step explanation:
-23 = -4a+1
To solve for a, subtract 1 from each side
-23-1 = -4a+1-1
-24 = -4a
Divide each side by -4
-24/-4 = -4a/-4
[tex] \red{a = 6}[/tex]
[tex] - 23 = - 4a + 1 \\ \text{take \: 1 \: to \: the \: left \: side \\ } \\ - 23 - 1 = - 4a \\ - 24 = - 4a \\ \text{divide \: both \: sides \: by \: - 4 \\ } \\ 6 = a[/tex]
