Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$\displaystyle \frac{a}{-7} - 7 = 5$

Step 2: Solve for a

1. Addition Property of Equality:                    $\displaystyle \frac{a}{-7} - 7 + 7 = 5 + 7$
2. [Simplify] Add:                                             $\displaystyle \frac{a}{-7}= 12$
3. Multiplication Property of Equality:           $\displaystyle -7 \cdot \frac{a}{-7} = 12 \cdot -7$
4. [Simplify] Multiply:                                      $\displaystyle a = -84$

Step 3: Check

Plug in a into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in a:                    $\displaystyle \frac{-84}{-7} - 7 = 5$
2. [Frac] Divide:                       $\displaystyle 12 - 7 = 5$
3. Subtract:                              $\displaystyle 5 = 5$

Here we see that 5 does indeed equal 5.

∴ a = -84 is the solution to the equation.
