1 Cancel 5 on both sides.
a=-5aa=−5a
2 Subtract -5a−5a from both sides.
a+5a=0a+5a=0
3 Simplify a+5aa+5a to 6a6a.
6a=06a=0
4 Divide both sides by 66.
a=0a=0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a+5=-5a+5a+5=−5a+5
1 Let a=0a=0.
0+5=-5\times 0+50+5=−5×0+5
2 Simplify 5\times 05×0 to 00.
0+5=-0+50+5=−0+5
3 Simplify 0+50+5 to 55.
5=-0+55=−0+5
4 Simplify -0+5−0+5 to 55.
5=55=5
