Question

Can you give me the answer to this question

Answer 1

a = 3.5

Explanation:

`(4a+1)/(2a-1)` =
`(5)/(2)` ( cross- multiply )

5(2a - 1) = 2(4a + 1) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

10a - 5 = 8a + 2 ( subtract 8a from both sides )

2a - 5 = 2 ( add 5 to both sides )

2a = 7 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 3.5
