$8a-3=19$

do you know how to solve for the variable?

Since this is an isoceles trapezoid that would mean that the two diagnoals are equal so....$$8a-3=19$$

anonymous · Answer

ok so what does that mean for trying to figure out the problem?

mehek14 · Answer

well, you have to get the variable by itself

$8a-3=19$

do you know how to solve for the variable?
