Answer:


\Huge \boxed{a=6}

Explanation:


a-(7-a)=5

We need to isolate the
a variable on one side of the equation to find the value.

Distribute the negative sign.


a-7+a=5

Combine like terms.


2a-7=5

Add 7 to both sides of the equation.


2a=12

Divide both sides of the equation by 2.


a=6
