Explanation:
The given equation is presented by the following form:
18 - (2a - 5) - 2(a + 2) = 3a + 5
The above equation can, then, be reduced to:
18 - 4a + 1 = 3a + 5
Rearranging the terms in the above equation, one will be able to get:
18 + 1 -5 = 3a + 4a
14 = 7a
Hence,
a = 14/7 = 2
Thanks a lot for everything, wishing success for everyone.
