Question

6a+5=2a+17 a= please help​

Answer 1

Answer:

a=3

Step-by-step explanation:

$6a + 5 = 2a + 17 \\ 6a - 2a = 17 - 5 \\ 4a = 12 \\ a = 3$

Answer 2

Answer:

6a + 5 = 2a + 17

6a - 2a = 17 - 5

4a = 12

a = 12 ÷ 4

a = 3

Verification:

LHS = 6a + 5

= 6 × 3 + 5

= 18 + 5

= 23

RHS = 2a + 17

= 2 × 3 + 17

= 6 + 17

= 23

LHS = RHS hence, verified.

Hope it helps
