Hi Welcome to opentudy :-) Any ideas on where to start?

OpenStudy (deionisaboss):

I think

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok show me what you know what's the first step?

OpenStudy (deionisaboss):

Um, Idk

pooja195 (pooja195):

Start by subtracting 5 from both sides to cancel it out 5-5=?

OpenStudy (deionisaboss):

a=-5a

pooja195 (pooja195):

Let's do it a different way... Add 5a to both sides. \[\huge~\rm~\bf a+5+5a=−5a+5+5a \]

OpenStudy (deionisaboss):

Ok

pooja195 (pooja195):

From there you get this 6a+5=5 subtract 5 from both sides 6a=0 divide both sides by 6 6/6=1 0/6=?
