$a = 5.9$ $a=5.9$

To solve this equation, simply add ( $+$ $+$ ) $2.7$ $2.7$ from each side.

$- 2.7 + 2.7 = 0$ $-2.7+2.7=0$ on the left side...
$3.2 + 2.7 = 5.9$ $3.2+2.7=5.9$ on the right side...

Hence the answer is $a = 5.9$ $a=5.9$ . To check we simply enter this value in on the left side:

$5.9 - 2.7 = 3.2$ $5.9-2.7=3.2$ ? Yes!

Therefore the equation checks out and everything is satisfied.

Answer: $a = 5.9$ $a=5.9$
