Subtract 5 from both sides
a/-8 = 4/7 - 5
simplify 4/7 - 5 to 31/-7
a/-8 = 31/-7
multiply both sides by 8
-a = 31/-7 x 8
simplify 31/7 x 8 to 248/7
-a = 248/7
multiply both sides by -1.
The answer is a = 248/7

hope this helps there is really no way of explaining you would have to study you theorems
$1.50C + $4A= $5050
C + A = 2200
-4(C + A = 2200)
-4C - 4A = -8800
1.50C+4A = 5050
-----------------------
-2.5C =- 3750
-2.5C/-2.5 =- 3750/-2.5
C = 1500
C + A = 2200
1500 + A =2200
1500 - 1500 + A = 2200 - 1500
A = 700
CHECK
$1.50C + $4A= $5050
$1.50(1500) + $4(700)= $5050
$2250 +$2800 =$5050
$5050 = $5050
C + A = 2200
1500 + 700 =2200
2200 = 2200
