Deborah has $56 in her bank account currently. She earns $8 per hour at her job at the local ice cream shop. Micah has $32 in his bank account and earns $12 per hour at his job mowing lawns. How many hours do they need to work to have the same amount of money in their bank accounts?

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
