Answer:
The value of 2a will be: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation
[tex]5 + 6a = 7a-3[/tex]
subtract 5 from both sides
[tex]5+6a-5=7a-3-5[/tex]
[tex]6a=7a-8[/tex]
[tex]-a=-8[/tex]
Divide both sides by -1
[tex]\frac{-a}{-1}=\frac{-8}{-1}[/tex]
[tex]a=8[/tex]
As we know that [tex]a=8[/tex] is the solution to the equation.
Hence, the value of 2a will be:
[tex]2a = 2(8)[/tex] ∵ [tex]a=8[/tex]
[tex]= 16[/tex]
Therefore, the value of 2a will be: 16
