Question

What is the value of a in the equation a = 2 + 3a + 10?

Answer 1

Answer:

a= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a=2+3a+10

In order to find the value of a, we have to isolate a on a single side of the equation

So,

subtracting 3a from both sides

a-3a = 2+10+3a-3a

=>a-3a=12

=> -2a = 12

Dividing both sides by -2

=> -2a/-2 = 12/-2

=> a = -6

The value of a in the given equation is -6 ..
