Answer 1

Answer:

$a = \frac{ - 16}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8(2 - a) = - 5a \\ 16 - 8a = - 5a \\ - 8a + 5a = 16 \\ - 3a = 16 \\ a = \frac{ - 16}{3}$

Therefore, the value of a is -16/3.

Answer 2

$8(2 - a) = - 5a$

$16 - 8a = - 5a$

$16 = - 5a + 8a$

$16 = 3a$

$a = \frac{3}{16}$

$a = 5.33$
