2(-3a+5) = -4(a+4)
Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses. 
-6a+10 = -4a+-16
Next, add 16 to each side to remove your negative. 
-6a+26 = -4a
Add a positive 6a to each side to remove one of your variables.
26 = 2a
Dividing each side by 2, will solve the problem. 
13 = a 
A=13 is your answer. 
y = mx+b
To solve for X, add a -B to each side. 
y-b = mx
Next, divide each side by M. 
y-b/m = x
So, X = y-b/m
(-2,4)  with a y-intercept of 8
To convert to slope intercept form, do y(2)-y(1)/x(2)-(x1)
(8-4) / (0+2)
Your slope is 2. 
y=2x+8
This is your answer, because 2 is the slope and 8 is the y-intercept.
