Question

Solve for x: 2(2a+3)-6=5a+2

Answer 1

Answer:

a=-2

We move all terms to the left:

2(2a+3)-6-(5a+2)=0

We multiply parentheses

4a-(5a+2)+6-6=0

We get rid of parentheses

4a-5a-2+6-6=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1a-2=0

We move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right

-a=2

a=2/-1

a=-2
