Answer:
A= -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 5a from both sides.
Combine 4a and −5a to get −a.
Add 7 to both sides.
Finally, Multiply both sides by −1.
Pls mark brainliest.
a = -8
4a - 7 = 5a + 1
subtract 1 from both sides of the equation
4a - 7 - 1 = 5a + 1 - 1
4a - 7 - 1 = 5a
4a - 8 = 5a
subtract 4a from both sides of the equation
4a - 4a - 8 = 5a - 4a
-8 = 5a - 4a
-8 = 1a
-8 = a
