\huge\text{Hey there!}


\large\text{Equation: }\mathsf{a - 2(1)/(2) = 1(1)/(2)}


\large\text{You have to SIMPLIFY the BOTH SIDES of the given EQUATION}


\mathsf{-2(1)/(2)=\bf -(5)/(2)}


\mathsf{1(1)/(2)=\bf (3)/(2)}


\large\text{New equation: }\mathsf{a + (-5)/(2)= (3)/(2)}


\large\text{ADD by }\mathsf{(5)/(2)}\large\text{ to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{a + (-5)/(2)+(5)/(2)= (3)/(2)+ (5)/(2)}


\large\text{Cancel out: }\mathsf{-(5)/(2)+ (5)/(2)}\large\text{ because it gives you 1}


\large\text{Keep: }\mathsf{(3)/(2)+(5)/(2)}\large\text{ because it helps solve for \bf a}


\large\text{New equation: }\mathsf{a = (3)/(2)+(5)/(2)}


\mathsf{(3+5)/(2\ \& \ 2)}


\mathsf{3 + 5 = 8}


\mathsf{2\ \& \ 2=2}


\large\text{Equation: }\mathsf{a = (8)/(2)}


\large\text{Simplify above and you have the \bf a value}\uparrow


\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf a = 4}}}\huge\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
