Answer:a=2

Step-by-step explanation: ok so what you want to do first is 14-8 because its addition so from 14-8 u get 6 that's what u need to get to be able to add eight to it so 3(2)+8=14 would be the answer

a
=
8
11

Just subtract 8 from both sides then simplify then subtract 14a from both sides then simplify after that you divide both sides by the same factor and then simplify
