Answer: a= 25

Explanation:

first, you'll have to write the opposite of the + symbol which is - and then you'll have to lose the 3 by substracting it with, so the equation will look like this: a/5= 8-3 not 8+3

a/5=5

after that step you'll have to multiply 5 from the equal sgin with the 5 that is divided by a, so the final equation looks like this:

a=5x5

a=25

now let's make a verification:

25/5+3=8

5+3=8

a=25

hope I helped you :)
