[( a + 3 ) ∗ 8 + 26 ] : 5 = 18 ( a + 3 ) ∗ 8 + 26 = 18 ∗ 5 ( a + 3 ) ∗ 8 + 26 = 90 ( a + 3 ) ∗ 8 = 90 − 26 ( a + 3 ) ∗ 8 = 64 a + 3 = 64 : 8 a + 3 = 8 a = 8 − 3 a = 5 ​

so [(a+3)8+26]/5=18 multiply out [8a+24+26]/5=18 add (8a+50)/5=18 bultiply both sides by 5 8a+50=90 subtract 50 from both sides 8a=40 divide both sides by 8 a=5

To solve the equation 5 ( a + 3 ) × 8 + 26 ​ = 18 , first eliminate the fraction, then isolate a through a series of steps resulting in a = 5 .
