Solve 14=A+0.88+0.8a

$$14 = A + 0.88 + 0.8 a$$

Solve for A

$$A=-\frac{4a}{5}+13.12$$

Solution Steps

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$A+0.88+0.8a=14$$

Subtract 0.88 from both sides.

$$A+0.8a=14-0.88$$

Subtract 0.88 from 14 to get 13.12.

$$A+0.8a=13.12$$

Subtract 0.8a from both sides.

$$A=13.12-0.8a$$

Solve for a

$$a=-\frac{5A}{4}+16.4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$A+0.88+0.8a=14$$

Subtract A from both sides.

$$0.88+0.8a=14-A$$

Subtract 0.88 from both sides.

$$0.8a=14-A-0.88$$

Subtract 0.88 from 14 to get 13.12.

$$0.8a=13.12-A$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.8, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{0.8a}{0.8}=\frac{13.12-A}{0.8}$$

Dividing by 0.8 undoes the multiplication by 0.8.

$$a=\frac{13.12-A}{0.8}$$

Divide 13.12-A by 0.8 by multiplying 13.12-A by the reciprocal of 0.8.

$$a=-\frac{5A}{4}+\frac{82}{5}$$
