Answer 1

35 is the answer

*multiply both sides by 7. This leaves you with 5a=175. Then divide both side by 5. Leaving you with a=35

Answer 2

`a=35`

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`(5a)/(7) =25`

To find the answer we need to isolate variable in order to find the value of a we are going to have to use inverse of operations to isolate the variable.


`(5a)/(7) =25`

`7*0=0`

`25*7=175`

`5a=175`

`(5a)/(5) =a`

`175/5=35`

`a=35`

Your answer is "a = 35."

Hope this helps.
