Question

Given the equation: a+2b=5

Which equation below is correctly solved for a?

Answer 1

E.
`a = 5-2b`

Explanation:

how to find the value of a, we need to subtract 2b from both side to single out the variable

a + 2b = 5

subtract 2b from both sides

a + 2b - 2b = 5 - 2b

a = 5 - 2b

Therefore, Option E is the correct answer
