Hi there! A = 78
A + 44 = B
We can plug in the values of A and B into the equation. We then get an equation with only one variable (x), which we can solve.
1x + 76 + 44 = - 6x + 134
Collect terms.
1x + 120 = - 6x + 134
Add 6x to both sides.
7x + 120 = 134
Subtract 120 from both sides
7x = 14
Divide both sides by 7
x = 14 / 7 = 2
A = 1x + 76
Now plug in the value of x we just found
A = 2 + 76 = 78
