5 0

Explanation:

The expression is given below as

|a+5|=-5-a

Concept:

We will apply the bsolute rule below

\begin{gathered} if|u|=a,a>0 \\ then,u=a,u=-a \end{gathered}

By applying the concept, we will have

\begin{gathered} \lvert a+5\rvert=-5-a \\ a+5=-5-a,a+5=5+a \\ a+a=-5-5,a-a=5-5 \\ 2a=-10,0=0 \\ \frac{2a}{2}=\frac{-10}{2},0=0 \\ a=-5,0=0 \end{gathered}

Hence,

The final answer is

a\leq-5
