Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by cross multiplying, which is a method to help solve proportions. We get:

5 * a = 3 * (a + 2)

Now, we can distribute the 3 and solve:

5a = 3a + 6

-3a  -3a

2a = 6

/2    /2

a = 3

Answer:

[tex]a = 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{a}{a + 2} = \frac{3}{5} [/tex]

[tex]a \times 5=(a+2) \times 3[/tex]

[tex]5a=(a+2) \times 3[/tex]

[tex]5a=3a+6[/tex]

[tex]5a−3a=6[/tex]

[tex]2a=6[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{6}{2} [/tex]

[tex]a = 3[/tex]
