@MATTW20 Here Is the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well we want to get a by itself. So start off by adding 5 to each side. \[-5+\frac{ 1 }{5}a+5=6+5\rightarrow \frac{ 1 }{ 5 }a=11\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now multiply each side by 5 \[5*\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }a=11*5\rightarrow a=55\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
