Answer:

a = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the b-value which is a-5 into the equation to make it look like this, 2a + 3(a - 5) = 5. Then, distribute 3 into a - 5 to get 3a - 15 when expanded. Combine the two like terms 2a and 3a to get 5a. Then, add 15 on both sides to get to this equation which is 5a = 20. Divide 5 on both sides to get your a-value which is 4.

lesya [120]

Answer:

First of all this question makes no complate sense if this was in real life. But the answer is: Allen is 23 years old and Jim woukd be 12 1/2 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 20+3=23. That's because it said in 3 years. Tthen we divide by 2 to find Jim's age. That's because it said that in three years, Allen would be twice as old as Jim.
