You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3a-5_a=2a
First find the solution to the equation.
a=2a
Move all terms not containing a to the right-hand side of the equation.
-a=0
Multiply -a by -1 to get a.
a=0*-1
Solve the equation before evaluating.
a=0
Now that values have been found for each variable, the expression can be evaluated.
3a-5_a=0
Replace the variable a with 0 in the expression.
3(0)-5
Multiply 3 by each term inside the parentheses.
0-5
Combine all similar expressions.

b+3_b=2b-1
First find the solution to the equation.
b=2b-1
Move all terms not containing b to the right-hand side of the equation.
-b=-1
Multiply -b by -1 to get b.
b=-1*-1
Solve the equation before evaluating.
b=1
Now that values have been found for each variable, the expression can be evaluated.
b+3_b=1
Replace the variable b with 1 in the expression.
(1)+3
Remove the parentheses around the expression 1.
1+3
Add 3 to 1 to get 4.
Answer: 4
