    If you are solving for a: it equals 3

    distribute: 5a + 5=2a + 14

    get rid of extra number on one side: 5a=2a + 9 (subtract 5 from both sides)

    get rid of the other variable: 3a=9 (subtract 2a from both sides)

    divide to isolate a: 3a/3=9/3 (divide by three on both sides)

    answer = a=3
