Question

PLEASEEEE HELPPPPPP!

Answer 1

Answer:

We conclude that the value of 'a' will be:

$a=\frac{x+b^2}{2}$

Hence, option (2) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

x = 2a - b²

Let us solve the equation to solve for 'a'

$x=2a-b^2$

switching sides

$2a-b^2=x$

Add b² to both sides

$2a-b^2+b^2=x+b^2$

Simplify

$2a=x+b^2$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{b^2}{2}$

Simplify

$a=\frac{x+b^2}{2}$

Therefore, we conclude that the value of 'a' will be:

$a=\frac{x+b^2}{2}$

Hence, option (2) is true.
