Question

If 2a^2 +3^1a - 5a^2= 9, then a-a^2=

Answer 1

Answer: 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given expression: 2a² + 3a - 5a² = 9

2) Combine like terms: -3a² + 3a = 9

3) Division property of equalities (divide both sides by 3): - a² + a = 3

4) Rearrange: a - a² = 3

That is the answer requested.
