Question

How many solutions does the equation have? a+5=1/5(5a+25)

Answer 1

A + 5 = $\frac{1}{5}$ (5a + 25)

First, simplify $\frac{1}{5} (5a + 25)$ to $\frac{5a+25}{5}$ / Your problem should look like: $a + 5 = \frac{5a+25}{5}$
Second, multiply both sides by 5. / Your problem should look like: $5a + 25 = 5(a + 5)$
Third, expand to get rid of parenthesis. / Your problem should look like: $5a + 25 = 5a + 25$
Fourth, both sides are equal, resulting it having infinite solutions.

Answer: infinite solutions
