2(x+a)=4b for a

2(x+a)=4b for a Simplify by removing parentheses
Simplify 2(x + a):
Distribute the 2 to each term in (x+a)
2 * x = (2 * 1)x = 2x
2 * a = (2 * 1)a = 2a
Our Total expanded term is 2x + 2a

Our new term is
2x + 2a = 4b

Solve the following literal equation for a
2x + 2a = 4b

Isolate a terms

Add -2x to both sides
2x + 2a - 2x = 4b - 2x
2a = 4b - 2x

Divide each side by 2

a  =	4b - 2x
	2
