Question

If -5 + 2(3a + 2b) = 4b - 2 then a =

Answer 1

a = 1/2

If -5 + 2(3a + 2b) = 4b - 2 then a =1/2

Answer 2

a = 1/2

Explanation:

-5 + 2(3a + 2b) = 4b - 2

+5 +5

----------------------------------

2(3a + 2b) = 4b + 3

/2 /2

----------------------------------

3a + 2b = 4b + 3 / 2

-2b -2b

-----------------------------------

3a = 4b + 3 / 2 - 2b

/3 /3

------------------------------------

a = 1/2
