Answer 1

Question:

Solve the given equation by transposing method and check your answer,

2a-3 = 5

____________________

Given that:

Equation: 2a-3 = 5

To find:

Value of a.

____________________

Solution:

2a-3 = 5

2a = 5+3

2a = 8

$a = \frac{8}{2}$

$\bf \red{a = 4}$

____________________

Verification:

On substituting the value of a as 4 in the equation,

2a-3 = 5

2×4-3 = 5

8-3 = 5

5 = 5

LHS = RHS

Hence Verified!
