Question

What is the solution to
2+3(2a+1)=3(a+2)

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is a = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation :

2+3(2a+1) = 3(a+2)

Use distributive property, multiply the terms to remove the bracket, and simplify the equation.

2+6a+3 = 3a+6

Add the like terms and rearrange :

5+6a = 3a+6

6a-3a = 6-5

3a = 1

Now, making 'a' the subject of the equation, we get :

a = 1/3

Answer 2

a = 1/3

Explanation:

2 + 3(2a + 1) = 3(a + 2)

Use the distributive property to get rid of parentheses.

2 + 3(2a + 1) = 3(a + 2)

2 + 6a + 3 = 3a + 6

Rearrange to make it easier.

2 + 3 + 6a = 3a + 6

5 + 6a = 3a + 6

Subtract 3a from both sides.

5 + 3a = 6

Subtract 5 from both sides.

3a = 1

Divide both sides by 3.

a = 1/3
