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

Evaluate

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

Move the expression to the left side

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

Subtract the terms

More Steps

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

Calculate the sum or difference

More Steps

40 a - 47 = 0

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

40 a = 0 + 47

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

40 a = 47

Divide both sides

\frac{40 a}{40} = \frac{47}{40}

Solution

a = \frac{47}{40}

Alternative Form

a = 1.175
