Question

How do you solve `a+5=-5a+5`?

Answer 1

`a+5 = -5a +5`
`rArr a=0`

Explanation:

Given `a+5 = -5a+5`

subtract `5` from both sides
`rarr` `color(white)("XXXX")` `a = -5a`

add `5a` to both sides
`rarr` `color(white)("XXXX")` `6a = 0`

Divide both sides by 6
`rarr` `color(white)("XXXX")` `x=0`
