Sure, let's solve the equation step by step:
The given equation is:
[tex]\[ 05a - 5 = 20 \][/tex]
First, we can ignore the leading zero in [tex]\( 05a \)[/tex], which simplifies the equation to:
[tex]\[ 5a - 5 = 20 \][/tex]
Next, to isolate the term with [tex]\(a\)[/tex] on one side of the equation, we need to eliminate the constant term on the left side. We do this by adding 5 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[ 5a - 5 + 5 = 20 + 5 \][/tex]
This simplifies to:
[tex]\[ 5a = 25 \][/tex]
Now, we need to solve for [tex]\(a\)[/tex]. To do this, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
[tex]\[ \frac{5a}{5} = \frac{25}{5} \][/tex]
This simplifies to:
[tex]\[ a = 5 \][/tex]
So, the solution to the equation [tex]\( 05a - 5 = 20 \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ a = 5 \][/tex]
