Question

6a - 4b = 6b + 2a
solve for a

Answer 1

`a = (5)/(2)b`

Explanation:

6a - 4b = 6b + 2a

Combine like terms:

6a - 2a - 4b = 6b (Subtract '2a' from both sides)

4a = 6b + 4b (Add '4b' to both sides)

4a = 10b

`a = (5)/(2)b` (Divide both sides by 4)

Therefore, when simplified,
`a = (5)/(2)b`.
