Solve for a.
5a + 2 - 7-8 = 0
What is the root? If there is no root, choose none.

Answer:5
Step-by-step explanation: root5a+2 +7a-8 = 0
squaring both side
5a+2=7a-8
8+2=7a-5a
10=2a
a=5
Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{5a+2}-\sqrt{7a-8}=0[/tex]
Isolate a square root on the left-hand side
[tex]\sqrt{5a+2} =\sqrt{7a-}8+0[/tex]
Eliminate the radical :-
[tex]5a+2 = 7a-8[/tex]
Solve:-
[tex]2a -10 = 0[/tex]
Add 10 to both sides, then Divide both sides by 2:-
[tex]a = 5[/tex]
