a = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
2 (a + 7) = 5a - 13
We want to bring a to one side, I will choose to bring it to the right
First, expand the bracket by multiplying 2 with a + 7
2a + 14 = 5a - 13
Bring the - 13 to the left by adding 13 to both sides
2a + 14 + 13 = 5a - 13 + 13
Simplify
2a + 27 = 5a
Bring the 2a to the right by subtracting 2a from both sides
2a - 2a + 27 = 5a - 2a
Simplify
27 = 5a - 2a
27 = 3a
Bring the 3 to the left by dividing both sides by 3
27:3 = a
Simplify
a = 9
