Hey there!☺
[tex]Answer:\boxed{a=19}[/tex]
[tex]Explanation:[/tex]
[tex]-4(10-a)=36[/tex] Equation
−4(10 − a) = 36 Simplify both sides
(−4)(10) + (−4)(−a) = 36 Distribute
−40 + 4a = 36
4a − 40 = 36
4a - 40 + 40 = 36 + 40 Add 40 to both sides
4a = 76
4a/4 = 76/4 Divide both sides by 4
76/4 = 19 Simplify 76/4
a = 19
Hope this helps!
