If (a,3) is a point on the graph of y=2x-5, what is a?

To solve this, you already have the y value of the coordinate, which is 3, and the x value is represented by a. Plug the values into your graph equation so that it looks like this: 3=2a-5
Then, add 5 to both sides to isolate 2a:
8=2a
Finally, divide both sides by 2 to get that a=4
Hope this helps!
