Let's solve your equation step-by-step.16(a−4)=13(2a+4)Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.16(a−4)=13(2a+4)(16)(a)+(16)(−4)=(13)(2a)+(13)(4)(Distribute)16a+−23=23a+43Step 2: Subtract 2/3a from both sides.16a+−23−23a=23a+43−23a−12a+−23=43Step 3: Add 2/3 to both sides.−12a+−23+23=43+23−12a=2Step 4: Multiply both sides by 2/(-1).(2−1)*(−12a)=(2−1)*(2)a=−4
