Answer:
[tex]a > 8[/tex]
Explanation:
If we take a look at this problem, we can see that we need to solve for a.
[tex]a - 3 > 5[/tex]
Just like solving a normal equation, we can take add 3 on both sides like so:
[tex]a - 3 > 5\\ +3 +3\\----\\a > 8[/tex]
As our final answer, we get [tex]a[/tex] is greater than 8!
