I know this is basic algebra but I need someone to explain this very clearly to me My problem was 80=2L+2(8) I solved all the way to 80 = 2L +16......Whats the next algebra step.

mathslover (mathslover):

Transpose 16 to LHS

mathslover (mathslover):

Or just subtrac 16 both sides.

OpenStudy (swag):

Transpose???

mathslover (mathslover):

\(80 - \color{blue}{16} = 2L + 16 - \color{blue}{16}\)

mathslover (mathslover):

Can you simplify further?

mathslover (mathslover):

@SWAG , you there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract both sides by 16, then simplify, lastly divide both side by 2 to solve for L
