Answer:

a = 3

Explanation:

We can start by cross multiplying, which is a method to help solve proportions. We get:

5 * a = 3 * (a + 2)

Now, we can distribute the 3 and solve:

5a = 3a + 6

-3a -3a

2a = 6

/2 /2

a = 3

Answer:


a = 3

Explanation:


(a)/(a + 2) = (3)/(5)


a * 5=(a+2) * 3


5a=(a+2) * 3


5a=3a+6


5a−3a=6


2a=6


a = (6)/(2)


a = 3

Hope it is helpful....
