Look at the equation below.

(-5) (a) = b

Which of the following is always true?

a = - b/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-5*a=b

(-5/-5) * a = (b/-5)

a = - b/5

I think is a

(-5) a=b multiplying a negative and positive equals a negative (-) x (+) = (-)

-5 a=b divide both sides of the equation by - 5

a=-b/5

The final solution for a is a=-b/5
