Explore the value of a, so that the root of the known equation 2x + a = 7 + X is (1) positive number; (2) positive even number

Explore the value of a, so that the root of the known equation 2x + a = 7 + X is (1) positive number; (2) positive even number

The solution of the equation is: x = 7-a
1) If x is a positive number, then 7-a > 0, then: a
