Answer 1

Simplifying
8a + 12b = 92

Solving
8a + 12b = 92

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-12b' to each side of the equation.
8a + 12b + -12b = 92 + -12b

Combine like terms: 12b + -12b = 0
8a + 0 = 92 + -12b
8a = 92 + -12b

Divide each side by '8'.
a = 11.5 + -1.5b

Simplifying
a = 11.5 + -1.5b
