Answer:

a= 25

Step-by-step explanation:

STEPS FOR SOLVING LINEAR EQUATION

3(a−5)=2(a+5)

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by a−5.

3a−15=2(a+5)

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by a+5.

3a−15=2a+10

Subtract 2a from both sides.

3a−15−2a=10

Combine 3a and −2a to get a.

a−15=10

Add 15 to both sides.

a=10+15

Add 10 and 15 to get 25.

a=25
