So your equation would be 8a+10=11d-6 First: you would combine like terms so normally you would take away the smaller number. So to cancel out the negative 6 you added you add positive six to the negative 6 so you would get 0 and whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other so you would do 10 + 6. Your new equation would be 8a+16=11d. Now you do - 16 to both sides. So your new equation would be 8a = 11d - 16. Now you divide by 8. So your final equation would be a=11d-2.
