Question

8a+16=32 what is the answer

Answer 1

8a+16=32
-16 -16 (subtract 16 on both sides)
8a=16
÷8 ÷8 (divide 8 on both sides to get "a" by itself)
a=2

Answer 2

A = 2 is the answer

First, Subtract 16 by 16 because its smaller than 32, and you get 0 so that 16 cancels out.
Second, subtract 16 again by 32..this gives you 16.
Third,divide 8 by 8 and u get 1 but u don't need the 1..just cross it out
Fourth, divide 8 by 16 and get 2

That's how "a" equals to 2.
