Firstly, you've got to expand the brackets, this becomes;
8a-4= -10a+ 50
You've then got to eliminate the -10a and you do this by adding 10a to both sides,
This then becomes 18a-4=50
You've then got to add 4, to eliminate this, which then becomes 18a=54
You've then got to divide both sides by 18, and this becomes 3.
Therefor, a=3
Hope this helps :)

8a-4=-10a+50
+10a   +10a \\ 18a-4=50 \\ +4 +4 \\ 18a=54 \\ /18 /18 \\ a=3

Hope this helps :)

Phil baked two kinds of pies. Each pie pan was the same size. He served 1/2 of the blueberry pie. He served 1/4 of the apple pie
s344n2d4d5 [400]
Phil served 2/8 of an apple pie because in order to have a common denominator, you need to multiply 1/4 by 2/2. 
Phil served 2 more pieces of blueberry than apple pie because 1/2(4/4) = 4/8, and 4/8 - 2/8 = 2/8.
