How do you solve for \[a\] in \[3a-2b=4c\]?

Hint: In the given question, we have been asked to find the value of ‘a’ and it is given that \[3a- 2b=4c\]. To solve this question we need to get ‘a’ on one side of the “equals” sign, and all the other numbers on the other side. To solve this equation for a given variable ‘a’, we have to undo the mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division that have been done to the variables.

Complete step by step solution:
We have given that,
\[\Rightarrow 3a-2b=4c\]
Adding 2b to both the sides of the equation, we get
\[\Rightarrow 3a-2b+2b=4c+2b\]
Combining the like terms, we get
\[\Rightarrow 3a=4c+2b\]
Dividing both the sides of the equation by 3, we get
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{3a}{3}=\dfrac{4c}{3}+\dfrac{2b}{3}\]
Simplifying the above equation, we get
\[\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{4c}{3}+\dfrac{2b}{3}\]
Thus,
\[\therefore a=\dfrac{4}{3}c+\dfrac{2}{3}b\]
Therefore, the value of \[a\] is equal to\[\dfrac{4}{3}c+\dfrac{2}{3}b\].

Additional information:
In the given question, no mathematical formula is being used; only the mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is used. Use addition or subtraction properties of equality to gather variable terms on one side of the equation and constant on the other side of the equation. Use the multiplication or division properties of equality to form the coefficient of the variable term equivalent to 1.

Note: The important thing to recollect about any equation is that the ‘equals’ sign represents a balance. What the sign says is that what’s on the left-hand side is strictly an equal to what’s on the right-hand side. It is the type of question where only mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is used.
