Answer
solution
Work Step by Step
5a-3 = 2a+6;3
To check whether 3 is the solution of the given expression, substitute 3 for a.
5*3 - 3 = 2*3 + 6 (multiply 5*3 and 2*3)
15 -3 =6 +6(add 6+6)
15 -3 = 12(subtract 15 -3)
12 = 12
The statement is true, because the values on both sides of the equation are same. Therefore, the number 3 is the solution of the equation.
