The answer to the question is a=34 and here’s why:
We need to know what minus 9 equals 25. So, if we want to think about this algebraically, we can consider this a two-step equation. We add 9 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the negative 9 and get a all by itself. When we add the 9 to the 25, we find the equation now reads a=34, which is our answer.
