Its a 2 step equation. And yes.

Answer 3

Well if you want to solve for "A" it would be = to-10..
Why? Because
1 + a/5 = -1
Bring the +1 to the other side by substracting it..
1 + a/5 = -1
a/5 = -1 - 1
a/5 = -2
Now mulitply by the recirpocal of 1/5 which is 5/1 on the other side..
a/5 = -2
a = -2x5/1
a = -10

I hope this is what you wanted.. O_o
