Verify that the given value is a solution to the equation.
$a=2;4a+3=a+9$

• A. Solution
• B. Not a solution

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the given value and the equation. Here, the value to verify is \(a = 2\), and the equation is \$4a + 3 = a + 9$.
2. Substitute the given value \(a = 2\) into the equation. Replace every \(a\) in the equation with 2, so the equation becomes \$4(2) + 3 = 2 + 9$.
3. Simplify both sides of the equation separately. Calculate the left side: \$4 \times 2 + 3\(, and the right side: \)2 + 9$.
4. Compare the simplified left side and right side values to check if they are equal. If both sides are equal, then \(a = 2\) is a solution; if not, it is not a solution.
5. Based on the comparison, conclude whether \(a = 2\) satisfies the equation \$4a + 3 = a + 9$ or not.
