Answer:

10 = a

Explanation:

To find this answer, first you need to distribute 4 times a and 4 times 5, since this is in parenthesis. You should get 4a + 20 = 10 + 4a. From there, you can subtract 4a from both sides of the equal sign, which will cancel out one of the 4a's. You should be left with 20 = 10 + a. Finally, you can subtract 10 from both sides of the equal sign and get 10 = a.
