- 22 a - 13 a - 22 = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

Simplify

- 22 a - 13 a

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(- 22 - 13) a

Subtract the numbers

- 35 a

- 35 a - 22 = 0

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

- 35 a = 0 + 22

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

- 35 a = 22

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

35 a = - 22

Divide both sides

\frac{35 a}{35} = \frac{- 22}{35}

Divide the numbers

a = \frac{- 22}{35}

Solution

a = - \frac{22}{35}

Alternative Form

a = - 0.6 \dot{2} 8571 \dot{4}
