I'm working with varibles on both sides. This is math, also algebra 1. The expression is... 8-4a=16-8a I'm so confused on which side to subtract from. I tried doing +8 on both sides. Please help.

a=2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can have "a" on both sides and still get an answer easily. You start off by adding 8a to the right. That makes 8+4a=16. You then subtract 8 from 16 and get 4a=8. Divide by 4 to get your answer. You get a=2

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7

step-by-step explanation:

divide, then simplify your answer.

1. make -15.66 ÷   5.8 a fraction. then divide.

2. simplify.  

3. final answer.
