The equation is given to be:
[tex]24a-22=-4\mleft(1-6a\mright)[/tex]Step 1
Expand the bracket:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 24a-22=-4\cdot1-6a\cdot(-4) \\ 24a-22=-4+24a \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2
Add 22 to both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 24a-22+22=-4+24a+22 \\ 24a=18+24a \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 3
Subtract 24a from both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 24a-24a=18+24a-24a \\ 0=18 \end{gathered}[/tex]CONCLUSION
Since both sides are not equal, then there is no solution to the multistep equation.
