Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

(5 - a) = 20 + (6a -1) . . . . . 5-a is 20 greater than 6a-1

5 = 7a +19 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add a, collect terms

-14 = 7a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 19

-2 = a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7

The value of the variable is -2.

_____

<u>Check</u>

5 - (-2) = 7

6(-2) -1 = -13

7 is 20 greater than -13, so the answer checks OK.
