Question

a/5 + 3 = 2 how to solve this equation

Answer 1

Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

a/5 = 2-3

a/5 = -1

a = -1×5

a= -5

Answer 2

:⟼  $\frac{a}{5} + 3 = 2$

:⟼  $\frac{a}{5} = 2 - 3$

:⟼  $\frac{a}{5} = - 1$

:⟼  $a = - 1 \times 5$

:⟼  $\bigstar \: \boxed{\sf{\color{red}{ a = - 5 }}}$

$\large\bold{\underline{\underline{To\:verify:-}}}$

:⟼  $\frac{ - 5}{5} + 3 = 2$

:⟼  $- 1 + 3 = 2$

:⟼  $2 = 2$

:⟼  L. H. S. = R. H. S.

Hence verified.
