A paddling club had k Keiki interested in paddling competitively. The number of Keiki was enough to make 8 teams of equal size.
Write an algebraic expression that represents the number of members on each team.

ps. Keiki means children in Hawaiian.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

its a, i had the same answer, its from study island right
