Given the equation:
a - 2 + 3 = -2
Solve for a.
Solution:
In order to solve for a easily, we combine first the values of -2 and 3, then transpose the answer to the other side of the equation. We must take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
a - 2 + 3 = -2
a + 1 = -2
a = -2 - 1
a = -3
Final answer:
a = -3
