Hi there!

There are two steps to take when solving this equation, but before we even think about that, let's start by rewriting the equation.

5a + 17 = 47

Step 1) Subtract 17 from both sides.

5a + 17 - 17 = 47 - 17

5a = 30

Step 2) Divide both sides by 5.

5a/5 = 30/5

a = 6

So, your final answer therefore is

a = 6

Hope this helps!

TIP - This method can be used when solving any equation with 1 variable. :D

WILL GIVR YOU BRAINLEST PLEASE HELP ASAP!

Sorry the question you typed is kinda messy. But I see you have typed “23* 26” I’m gonna assume you’re asking which postulate or theorem is angle 2 and angle 3, and angle 2 and angle 6. So angle 2 and 3 are vertical angles. Angle 2 and 6 are corresponding angles. If that wasn’t what you wanted, please let me know in the comments so I can understand your problem clearly and solve it.
