Would anyone help me how to solve 3/2(a)-8=7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Get a on its own. That's basically it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, but my answer was 7.3 repeated.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure if I'm doing my math right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that 3/(2a-8) or (3/2a)-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take 7 +8 and you get 15 on the right side and then divide by 3/2 and you get a on it's own. which is what you wanted. a=10
