Solution Steps

Step 1: Isolate the fraction

The equation is given as: a+164=2 \frac{a + 16}{4} = -2 To eliminate the denominator, multiply both sides of the equation by 4: 4a+164=24 4 \cdot \frac{a + 16}{4} = -2 \cdot 4

Step 2: Simplify the equation

After multiplying, the equation simplifies to: a+16=8 a + 16 = -8

Step 3: Solve for aa

Subtract 16 from both sides to isolate aa: a+1616=816 a + 16 - 16 = -8 - 16 a=24 a = -24

Final Answer

a=24\boxed{a = -24}
