Question

What is the answer to the equation 2a+6=5

Answer 1

Answer:

a = -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2a+6-6=5-6

2a/2=-1/2

a = -0.5

Answer 2

Answer:

a = - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2a + 6 = 5

Subtract 6 from both sides

2a + 6 - 6 = 5 - 6

2a = -1

Divide both sides by 2

2a/2 = -1/2

a = - 1/2
