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.
