1st you have to subtract 8 from 50 50-8=42
Then to figure what A is, you have to multiply the answer (42) x 2 = 84
Therefore 50= 8+ 84/2 BECAUSE 84 divided by 2=42 AND 42+8=50
A = 84!!!

8 + a/2 = 50
8 - 8 + a/2 = 50 - 8
a/2 = 42
a/2 * 2 = 42 * 2
a = 84

a is 84. Start by subtracting 8 from both sides, and you get:
42 = a/2
Then multiply both sides by 2, and you get:
84 = a
