    Simplifying 2a + - 16 = a + - 8 Reorder the terms: - 16 + 2a = a + - 8 Reorder the terms: - 16 + 2a = - 8 + a Solving - 16 + 2a = - 8 + a Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1a' to each side of the equation. - 16 + 2a + - 1a = - 8 + a + - 1a Combine like terms: 2a + - 1a = 1a - 16 + 1a = - 8 + a + - 1a Combine like terms: a + - 1a = 0 - 16 + 1a = - 8 + 0 - 16 + 1a = - 8 Add '16' to each side of the equation. - 16 + 16 + 1a = - 8 + 16 Combine like terms: - 16 + 16 = 0 0 + 1a = - 8 + 16 1a = - 8 + 16 Combine like terms: - 8 + 16 = 8 1a = 8 Divide each side by '1'. a = 8 Simplifying a = 8.
