Question

A+5=5a+5 how do i do this problem

Answer 1

0 = a

Explanation:

The first thing to do is subtract 5 from both sides.

a + 5 = 5a + 5

- 5 - 5

The 5's cancel out.

Now we have a + 0 = 5a

You next subtract the a from both sides.

a + 0 = 5a

-a -a

0 = 4a

Lastly would to get a by itself so then we divide 4 from both sides

0 = 4a

_ _

4 4

0 = a
