The value of the variable a in the equation is a = 10
What is a linear equation?
A linear equation is any equation with a constant rate
How to evaluate the equation?
The equation is given as
5(a - 5) = 25
Open the brackets in the above equation
So, we have the following equation
5a - 5 * 5 = 25
Evaluate the products in the above equation
So, we have the following equation
5a - 25 = 25
Add 25 to both sides of the equation
So, we have the following equation
5a - 25 + 25 = 25 + 25
Evaluate the sum in the above equation
So, we have the following equation
5a = 50
Divide both sides by 5
So, we have
5a/5 = 50/5
Evaluate the quotient
a = 50/5
Evaluate the quotient
a = 10
Hence, the solution to the equation is a = 10
