57a-(32a+43)=
I'm presuming that the equation equals zero or is it an expression?
Equation:
57a-%2832a%2B43%29=0
Distribute the -1 before (32a+43)
57a-32a-43=0
Move 43 over by adding 43 to both sides
25a=43%7D%7D%0D%0A%7B%7B%7Ba=43%2F25
------------------------------
Expression
57a-%2832a%2B43%29
Distribute the -1 before (32a+43)
57a-32a-43
Simplify
25a-43
