Step 1.1

Subtract

a

$a$ from both sides of the equation.

5 a - a = 0

$5 a - a = 0$

Step 1.2

Subtract

a

$a$ from

5 a

$5 a$ .

4 a = 0

$4 a = 0$

4 a = 0

$4 a = 0$

Step 2

Divide each term in

4 a = 0

$4 a = 0$ by

4

$4$ and simplify.

Step 2.1

Divide each term in

4 a = 0

$4 a = 0$ by

4

$4$ .

\frac{4 a}{4} = \frac{0}{4}

$\frac{4 a}{4} = \frac{0}{4}$
