Question

isolate the varibal
-7a-6=8

Answer 1

Add 6 to both sides. You get -7a=14
Then divide each side by -7. You'll get a= -2 if you did it right.
You have to cancel out everything that keeps a from being by itself.

Answer 3

Divide by 1/2. Which is the same thing as 2.

Yep

Answer 6

Answer 7

You have to do the opposite of what it says to do in order to cancel it out.

Answer 8

Answer 9
