Question 531192: 43+a-20=-25
Answer by lmeeks54(111)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is pretty straightforward; the point of this problem is to see if you understand how to simplify equations. The key to that is to combine all like terms:
...
43 + a - 20 = -25
...
If we subtract 43 and add 20 to both sides, on the left side of the equation we will just have "a"...and on the other side, we will have left what a =
...
43 - 43 + a - 20 + 20 = -25 - 43 + 20
...
a = -48
...
