Question 365767
{{{a+5=-5a+5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{a=-5a+5-5}}} Subtract {{{5}}} from both sides.



{{{a+5a=5-5}}} Add {{{5a}}} to both sides.



{{{6a=5-5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{6a=0}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{a=(0)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{6}}} to isolate {{{a}}}.



{{{a=0}}} Reduce.
