Start by distributing 1/2: (1/2)(6a − 10) = 3a − 5.
So 3a − 5 + 7 = 14 → 3a + 2 = 14 → 3a = 12 → a = 4.
Check: (1/2)(6·4 − 10) + 7 = (1/2)(24 − 10) + 7 = (1/2)(14) + 7 = 7 + 7 = 14.
So 3a − 5 + 7 = 14 → 3a + 2 = 14 → 3a = 12 → a = 4.
Check: (1/2)(6·4 − 10) + 7 = (1/2)(24 − 10) + 7 = (1/2)(14) + 7 = 7 + 7 = 14.
