Can someone help me understand

Answer:
Its solving equations with variable on both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
Example: 8a = 3a+25
You have to make a variable on the both side
So.....
8a-3a = 3a+25-3a
And then solve it. So the last thing you will have is
5a = 25
If you want to the simplest form...divide 25 with 5
a = 25/5
a = 5
Hope this help you.
