Please answer with solving steps!

Answer 1

a=-1

Explanation:

move -2 and 3 to the right side to have the variable by itself and then just add them together.

a = -2+3-2

a= -4+3

a= -1

Answer 2

Answer: a=−3

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

a−2+3=−2

a+−2+3=−2

(a)+(−2+3)=−2(Combine Like Terms)

a+1=−2

a+1=−2

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

a+1−1=−2−1

a=−3
