Question

$$\frac{ 3a+5 }{ 7 } =2$$

Solve for a

$a=3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by $7$.

$$3a+5=2\times 7$$

Multiply $2$ and $7$ to get $14$.

$$3a+5=14$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$3a=14-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $14$ to get $9$.

$$3a=9$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$a=\frac{9}{3}$$

Divide $9$ by $3$ to get $3$.

$$a=3$$
