+245 -11 - 5a = 6( 5a +4)
-11 - 5a = 20 a + 24 distribute the 6
-11 - 24 - 5a = 20a + 24 -24 now you need to get the a terms on one side of the equation and the numbers on the other -35 -5a + 5a = 20 a + 5a side
-35 = 25a now you need to isolate a so divide both sides of the equation by 25
-35 / 25 = 25a / 25
-7/5 = a simplify and now you have your answer
