To start the problem, you will want to move the numbers with variables and the ones without to the other side, then combine them together so that there is only one thing on each side. Then divide on both sides by the variable's coefficient and you will get your answer. Here is it done for the 1st problem.
5n - 14 = 8n + 4 \\ 5n - 14 - 5n = 8n + 4 - 5n \\  - 14 = 3n + 4 \\  - 14 - 4 = 3n + 4 - 4 \\  - 18 = 3n \\  \frac{3}{3} n =   \frac{ - 18}{6}  \\ n =  - 6
For the second one you will want to start by simplifying everything on both sides since you can combine the constants (numbers without any variables). It should look like this:
- 15 + 4 - 5a =  - 2 + 26 + 30a \\  - 11 - 5a = 24 + 30a
What you can do from here is push constants to one side and variables to the other like before. Here is how it would look:
- 11 - 5a = 24 + 30a \\  - 11 - 5a - 24 = 24 - 24 + 30a \\  - 35 - 5a = 30a \\  - 35 - 5a + 5a = 30a + 5a \\  - 35 = 35a
Once there is only one thing on both side, you can divide both sides by the coefficient (the number attached to a variable) to get the variable alone.
35a =  - 35 \\  \frac{35}{35} a =  \frac{ - 35}{35}  \\ a =  - 1
Thus, a is equal to -1.

For the third problem, it is more of the same type of problem that we have done before. Since there are no multiples of anything (variables or constants) on each side, we can start pushing variables to one side and constants to the others like so:
- 8x + 25 = 3 - 9x \\   - 8x + 9x  + 25 = 3 - 9x + 9x \\ x + 25 = 3 \\ x + 25 - 25 = 3  - 25 \\ x =  - 22
Since x's coefficient is 1, there is no need to divide and your answer is -22.

First example:

Subtract the 8n on both sides to get the variable on one side of the equation. Do the same for the regular numbers. Then divide by -3.

5n-14=8n+4\\ \\ 5n-8n=4+14 \\ \\ -3n=18\\ \\ n=-6

This should be your final answer.

Second Example:

Do the same thing as explained in Example 1. Here's some work to help guide you.

-15 - 5a + 4 = -2 + 30a + 26\\ \\ -5a-30a=-2+26+15\\ \\ -35a=39\\ \\ a = \frac{39}{-35}

That should be your final answer here.

Third Example:

3 - 9x = -8x + 25\\ \\ -9x+8x=25-3\\ \\ -x=22\\ \\ x=-22

Hope this helps and its understandable! Let me know if you still don't understand.

Length = l
width = 1/3 of length = l/3

perimeter = 2(l + l/3)
Answer is option B

-----------------------------------
2(l+ l/3) = 56
⇒ 8l/3 = 56
⇒ l = 3*56/8
⇒ l = 21 inch
width = 21/3 = 7inch

Area = 21*7 inch² = 147 inch²

Find the area cut out of the cylinder x2 z2=9 by the cylinder x2 y2=9.
Digiron [165]
The cylinder is symmetric across the plane y=0, so we need only consider half of the cut-out region.

This region can be parameterized by

\mathbf r(r,\theta)=(r\cos\theta,\sqrt{9-r^2\cos^2t},r\sin\theta)

with 0\le\theta\le2\pi and 0\le r\le3. Then the area of this half is given by the surface integral

\displaystyle\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}\int_{r=0}^{r=3}\left\|\mathbf r_r\times\mathbf r_\theta\right\|\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta
=\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^3\frac{3r}{\sqrt{9-r^2\cos^2\theta}}\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta
=36

Doubling this gives a total area of 72.
