Answer:a = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
5 + 14a = 9a - 5
This is an algebraic linear equation.
To solve for the unknown, we collect like terms, this gives us
14a - 9a = - 5 - 5
5a = - 10
We divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of a that is, 5, then we get
a = - 10/5
a = - 2

Steps to solve:
5 + 14a = 9a - 5
~Subtract 5 to both sides
5 - 5 + 14a = 9a + (-5) - 5
~Simplify
14a = 9a - 10
~Subtract 9a to both sides
14a - 9a = 9a - 9a - 10
~Simplify
5a = - 10
~Divide 5 to both sides
5a/5 = - 10/5
~Simplify
a = - 2
Best of Luck!
