Answer:

a = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

a - 2 =16

Putting a = 0

a - 2 =16

0 - 2 = 16

-2 = 16

∴ a = 0 is not a solution.

Putting a = 1

a - 2 = 16

1 - 2 = 16

-1 = 16

∴ a = 1 is not a solution.

Putting a = 2

a - 2 =16

2 - 2 = 16

0 = 16

∴ a = 2 is not a true solution.

Likewise..

Putting a = 17

a - 2 = 16

17 -2 = 16

15 = 16

∴ a = 17 is not a solution.

Putting a = 18

a - 2 = 16

18 - 2 = 16

16 = 16

a = 18 is a solution.
