16a=-14+b
Add b to both sides.
16a=b-14
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{16a}{16}=\frac{b-14}{16}
Divide both sides by 16.
a=\frac{b-14}{16}
Dividing by 16 undoes the multiplication by 16.
a=\frac{b}{16}-\frac{7}{8}
Divide -14+b by 16.
16a-b=-14
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 4,2.
-b=-14-16a
Subtract 16a from both sides.
-b=-16a-14
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-b}{-1}=\frac{-16a-14}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
b=\frac{-16a-14}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
b=16a+14
