<PRE><B>Question 658172</B>
{{{-11-5a=6(5a+4)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-11-5a=30a+24}}} Distribute.



{{{-5a=30a+24+11}}} Add {{{11}}} to both sides.



{{{-5a-30a=24+11}}} Subtract {{{30a}}} from both sides.



{{{-35a=24+11}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-35a=35}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{a=(35)/(-35)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-35}}} to isolate {{{a}}}.



{{{a=-1}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{a=-1}}}
