Question

$$\frac { 7 a - 4 } { 3 } = 2 a + 5$$

Solve for a

$a=19$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$.

$$7a-4=6a+15$$

Subtract $6a$ from both sides.

$$7a-4-6a=15$$

Combine $7a$ and $-6a$ to get $a$.

$$a-4=15$$

Add $4$ to both sides.

$$a=15+4$$

Add $15$ and $4$ to get $19$.

$$a=19$$
