1. Rearrange terms

28−8=15

−8+28=152

2. Subtract 28 from both sides of the equation

−8+28=15

−8+28−28=15−28

3. Simplify

• Subtract the numbers

• Subtract the numbers

−8= −134

4. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

−8= −13−8

/−8= −13/−8

5. Simplify

• Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

• Divide the numbers

=13/8
