Answer:

a=1 or a=5

Explanation:


a^(2)+4=6a−1

Step 1: Subtract 6a-1 from both sides.


a^(2)+4−(6a−1)=6a−1−(6a−1)


a^(2)−6a+5=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(a−1)(a−5)=0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

a−1=0 or a−5=0

a=1 or a=5

(is it helpful rate me according to that

Thank You:-)
