Question 951199: Hi my name is jayda and I need help with this question i'm doing equations with variables on both side (4a+1-a-8=1+a) step by step
Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4a+1-a-8 = 1+a
Combine the a terms on the LHS
3a+1-8 = 1+a
Combine 1 and -8
3a - 7 = 1 + a
Add 7
3a = 8 + a
Subtract a
2a = 8
Divide by 2
a = 4
