Question

3a-2 (2a+5)=2 (a+3)-8​

Answer 1

Answer:

a=-8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3a−2(2a+5)=2(a+3)−8

3a+(−2)(2a)+(−2)(5)=(2)(a)+(2)(3)+−8(Distribute)

3a+−4a+−10=2a+6+−8

(3a+−4a)+(−10)=(2a)+(6+−8)(Combine Like Terms)

−a+−10=2a+−2

−a−10=2a−2

-a-2a=-2+10

-3a=8

a=-8/3

Answer 2

Answer:

-2.66

Step-by-step explanation:

• 3a-2 (2a+5)=2 (a+3)-8
• 3a -4a -10 = 2a + 6 -8
• 3a -4a -2a = 6 -8 +10
• 3a -6a = 16 - 8
• -3a = 8
• a = 8/ -3
• a = - 2.66
