Answer:

Well your using absolute value and everything in absolute value is positive so you get rid of the negative.

Explanation:

So you distribute the negative into the absolute value equation . And it leaves you with

|-1+5a|=29 now you can solve

your subtract your -1 from both sides bc you are solving for a

that gives you

5a=30 then you divide 5 divided by 30 is what 6 so that’s your answer

a=6
