Answer: whats the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 5 from both sides
a/-8 = 4/7 - 5
simplify 4/7 - 5 to 31/-7
a/-8 = 31/-7
multiply both sides by 8
-a = 31/-7 x 8
simplify 31/7 x 8 to 248/7
-a = 248/7
multiply both sides by -1.
The answer is a = 248/7

Answer:
-16
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we are adding a negative integer and a positive integer. From this, we already know that the sum will be negative. (- plus + = -)
Since 20 is positive, you can remove the plus sign so your equation looks like
20 - 36
Next, subtract to get -16
