Question

Can you please help we with this a/5 -23 = -25

Answer 1

To find the value for a in this equation, we can follow the next steps:

$\frac{a}{5}-23=-25$

First, multiply all of the equation by 5:

$5\cdot(\frac{a}{5}-23=-25)\rightarrow\frac{5}{5}\cdot a-115=-125\rightarrow a-115=-125$

Finally, add 115 to both sides of the equation:

$a-115+115=-125+115\rightarrow a+0=-10\rightarrow a=-10$

Therefore, the value for a is a = -10.
