1/8a-6=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it (1/8a) - 6, or 1/(8a - 6)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No its 1/8a-6=1 I know the answer is 56 but can u explain how you got the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you mean (1/8)a - 6 = 1? If so, then (1/8)a - 6 = 1. (1/8)a = 7. Multiply both sides by 8, and you get 8 * (1/8)a = 7*8, or a = 56.
