How do you solve #4(2a-8)=1/7(49a+70)#? Algebra Linear Equations Equations with Variables on Both Sides 1 Answer Alan P. Jun 16, 2016 #a=42# Explanation: L.S. #=4(2a-8) = 8a-32# R.S. #=1/7(49a+70) = 7a+10# L.S. # = #R.S. #rarr8a-32=7a+10# #rarrcolor(white)("XX")a=42# Answer link Related questions How do you check solutions to equations with variables on both sides?
