Question

Solve 15a-2=3a +10 please help
​

Answer 1

`a = 1`

Explanation:

15a - 2 = 3a + 10

Take out 3a from both sides:

15a - 3a 3a - 3a

12a 0

12a - 2 = 10

Add 2 to both sides:

-2 + 2 10 + 2

0 12

12a = 12

Divide 12 by both sides:

`(12a)/(12)   =   (12)/(12)`

a = 1

Answer 2

a = 1

Explanation:

Given

15a - 2 = 3a + 10 ( subtract 3a from both sides )

12a - 2 = 10 ( add 2 to both sides )

12a = 12 ( divide both sides by 12 )

a = 1
