It’s multi-step linear equations I have to solve for the x but in this question is asking “expand, and then solve for x” what did it mean by expand 5a - (2a + 15) = 24

Sagot :

Given:

[tex]5a-(2a+15)=24[/tex]

To expand and solve for x:

On expanding the given expression, we have,

[tex]5a-2a-15=24[/tex]

On solving we get,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3a-15=24 \\ 3a=24+15 \\ 3a=39 \\ a=13 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of a is 13.
