\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Question:-}}}}

a+(-5)=-9

What is a equal to?


\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}

First, a+(-5)=-9 can be written as follows:-

⇒a-5=-9

Now, add 5 to both sides:-

⇒a=-9+5

And finally,

⇒a=-4

Good luck.

Answer:

a = -4

Explanation:

We have to,

Find the required value of a,

→ a + (-5) = -9

→ a - 5 = -9

→ a = -9 + 5

→ [ a = -4 ]

Hence, the value of a is -4.
