7a-14=4a+1

7a-14=4a+1   subtract 4a from both ssides

3a - 14  = 1     add 14 ro both sides

3a  = 15           divide both sides by 3

a = 5

7a-14=4a+1

first u have to subtract 4a from both sides

3a - 14 = 1

then add 14 to both sides to give:

3a = 15

finally divide both sides by 3.

so a=15/3

a = 5
