Solve 7(5a-4)-1=14-8a

Evaluate

7 (5 a - 4) - 1 = 14 - 8 a

Move the expression to the left side

7 (5 a - 4) - 1 - (14 - 8 a) = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

7 (5 a - 4) - 15 + 8 a = 0

Calculate the sum or difference

More Steps

43 a - 43 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

43 a = 0 + 43

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

43 a = 43

Divide both sides

\frac{43 a}{43} = \frac{43}{43}

Divide the numbers

a = \frac{43}{43}
