Question

If 2a - 3 = 5 , then find the value of "a".

• A. - 3
• B. 4
• C. 7
• D. - 9

Answer 1

The correct option is B

4

The given equation is,
$2a-3=5$.

Adding $3$ to both sides of the equation, we get,
$2a-3+3=5+3$
$2a=8$

Now, dividing both sides by 2, we get
$a=\frac{8}{2}a=4.$

So, the value of 'a' is 4.
