Question

Describe the steps you used to solve the equation and

find the amount of Carrie's allowance.
Linear equation:a+a+8=22

Answer 1

Carrie's allowance is 7.

Explanation:

Use the equation to find a.

a+a+8=22

First, combine like terms.

2a+8=22

Subtract 8 from both sides.

2a+8-8=22-8

2a=14

Divide 2 from both sides.

2a/2=14/2

a=7
