\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 5-3(2a+1)=-4+10


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 5-6a-3=6


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -6a+2=6


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -6a=6-2


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -6a=4


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow a=(4)/(-6)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow a=(2)/(-3)

Now


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow a+2


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (2)/(-3)+2


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (2-6)/(-3)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (-4)/(-3)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (4)/(3)

Answer:

7/3

Explanation:

5 - 3(2a+1) = -4 + 10

=> 5 - 6a + 3 = 6

=> 5 - 6 + 3 = 6a

=> 2 = 6a

=> 6a = 2

=> a = 2/6

=> a = 1/3

a + 2

1/3 + 2

=> 1/3 + 6/3

=> 7/3
