Question

If 6a+ 3 = 25+ 17a, then 'a' is _____​

Answer 1

Answer:

6a-17a = 25-3

-11a = 22

a = 22/-11

a = -2

Answer 2

Answer:

=> Hence, the value of a is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to questions asked

We have to find the value of a,

The given expression:-

$6a+ 3 = 25+ 17a$

Rearranging the terms, we get

=> $6a+ 3 = 17a+25$

Now, subtract both sides by $3$

=> $6a+ 3 -3= 17a+25-3$

=> $6a= 17a+25-3$

Subtract the numbers,

=> $6a= 17a+22$

Subtract both sides by $17a$,

=> $6a-17a= 17a+22-17a$

=> $-11a = 22$

Divide both sides by $-11$,

=> $a = -2$
