Question 1121724: how do i Solve the equation for the given variable and write your answer in
in simplest form: 7a + 12 = 2a + 16 Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 7a + 12 = 2a + 16
subtract 2a from both sides
5a+12=16
subtract 12 from both sides
5a=4
divide by the coefficient of a, or 5
a=(4/5)
