How do I solve this ? 5 8(a−2) = 10 Could you please advise if I've calculated the answer below correctly Than you so much?
or if my working out below is not correct could you please show what I've done wrong and how to correct it?
My attempt to solve this:
The equation is (a 2) 5 8 Clear the fraction 5(a 16) Multiply by 5 to clear the bracket 5a 80 Get rid of the 80 5a= 480 Divide by 5 a= 96 = 10 = 80 = 400 The solution is a = 96

It's tough to see how you can go from (a - 2) to (a - 16).
this doesn't make sense. your work seems to be meaningless, I think you are missing some symbols.
as far as I can tell, this is
58(a−2) = 10
58a – 116 = 10
58a = 126
a = 126/58 = 63/29
