If a + b = 2a, then

a + b - 2a = 2a - 2a
b + a - 2a = 2a - 2a
b - a = 2a - 2a = 0

Therefore, b - a = 0.

ANSWER

C.
[tex]0[/tex]

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

[tex]a + b = 2a[/tex]

We make b the subject to get,

[tex]b = 2a - a[/tex]

This simplifies to,

[tex]b = a[/tex]

Subtracting
[tex]a[/tex]
from both sides will give us,

[tex]b - a = a - a[/tex]


The right hand side will now simplify to zero,

Therefore

[tex]b - a = 0[/tex]
