so you need to get "a" alone
a-2+3=-2
subtract 3 from both sides
a - 2 = -2-3
a - 2 = -5
then add two to both sides
a = -3
as your answer
I am guessing right now, but here it is

2/3 of a basket of apples rot. We eat 4/5 of the rest and use the remaining 25 to make jam. How many apples were in the basket
Answer:
375
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the basket was full, ⅔ rot so the remaining for any use will be 1-⅔=⅓
Since we only eat 4/5 of this remaining quantity, we use the 1-4/5=1/5 of ⅓ for making jam
1/5 of ⅓=1/5*⅓=1/15
If 1/15 equals 25 pieces then the full basket had
25*15/1=375 pieces
Answer: 5/18

Answer:
Answer:
y = 13
Explanation:
You want to add the like variables:
(3x - y) = -1
+(-3x +3y) = 27
The x's cancel out:
2y = 26
Divide by 2 on both sides to get the y by itself and solve for y
y = 13
