Question

(a-8)/3 = (a-3)/2 solve it plz

Answer 1

Answer:

a = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution↴

(a-8)/3 = (a-3)/2

✑ By using cross-multiplication we get,

(a-8)2 = (a-3)3

2a – 16 = 3a – 9

2a – 3a = -9 + 16

-a = 7

a = -7

Let us verify the given equation now,

(a-8)/3 = (a-3)/2

By substituting the value of ‘a’ we get,

(-7 – 8)/3 = (-7 – 3)/2

-15/3 = -10/2

-5 = -5

$Hence, the \: given \: equation \: is \: verified$

Answer 2

Answer:

a=7

Step-by-step explanation:

(a-8)/3 =(a-3)/2

a-8)/3 =(a-3)/22a-16 = 3a-9

a-8)/3 =(a-3)/22a-16 = 3a-9-16+9= 3a-2a

a-8)/3 =(a-3)/22a-16 = 3a-9-16+9= 3a-2a7 = a

a-8)/3 =(a-3)/22a-16 = 3a-9-16+9= 3a-2a7 = aa=7

HOPE IT'S HELPING TO YOU
