15a-34=41

This problem means that 15 times some unknown number minus 34 equals 41.

You need to get the knowns on one side of the equation and the unknowns on the other side.

You start by adding 34 to both sides of the equation.

15a-34=41
15a - 34 + 34 = 41 + 34
15a = 75

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 15.

a = 75/15
a = 5

Let's prove that a = 5. Substitute 5 for a in the original problem.

15a-34=41
(15 * 5) - 34 = 41
75 - 34 = 41
41 = 41

Yep! a = 5
