To solve the equation \( 5a + 2 \cdot 2 = 32 \), we first simplify the equation.

1. Calculate \( 2 \cdot 2 = 4 \).
2. Now substitute back into the equation:

\[
5a + 4 = 32
\]

3. Next, subtract 4 from both sides:

\[
5a = 32 - 4
\]
\[
5a = 28
\]

4. Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for \( a \):

\[
a = \frac{28}{5}
\]

Thus, \( a = 5.6 \).

So, the value of \( a \) is \( 5.6 \).

To solve the equation \( 5a + 2 \cdot 4 = 32 \), we first simplify it.

1. Calculate \( 2 \cdot 4 = 8 \).
2. Now substitute back into the equation:

\[
5a + 8 = 32
\]

3. Next, subtract 8 from both sides:

\[
5a = 32 - 8
\]
\[
5a = 24
\]

4. Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for \( a \):

\[
a = \frac{24}{5}
\]

Thus, \( a = 4.8 \).

So, the value of \( a \) is \( 4.8 \).

To solve the equation \( 5a + 2 \cdot 9 = 32 \), we first simplify it.

1. Calculate \( 2 \cdot 9 = 18 \).
2. Now substitute this back into the equation:

\[
5a + 18 = 32
\]

3. Next, subtract 18 from both sides:

\[
5a = 32 - 18
\]
\[
5a = 14
\]

4. Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for \( a \):

\[
a = \frac{14}{5}
\]

Thus, \( a = 2.8 \).

So, the value of \( a \) is \( 2.8 \).
