7=a-5. What does a equal?


\dashrightarrow\large\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}

When solving an equation, it's always a great idea to make sure all variables are on the left side of the equation and the numbers are on the right.

Since in our equation, we have numbers on both sides, we need to move all numbers to one side:-

7=a-5

This is the same as

a-5=7

Now, add 5 on both sides:-

a=12

So we conclude that a=12.

Good luck with your studies.
