    1/5 (a+10) = - 3

    Simplify:

    15 (a+10) = - 3

    (1/5) (a) + (1/5) (10) = - 3 (Distribute)

    1/5a+2=-3

    Subtract 2 from both sides.

    1/5a+2-2=-3-2

    1/5a=-5

    Multiply both sides by 5.

    5 * (1/5a) = (5) * (-5)

    a=-25

    1/5 (a+10) = - 3

    Sinplify both sides of the equation

    1/5 a + 2=-3

    Subtract 2 from both sides

    1/5a+2-2=-3-2

    1/5a=-5

    Multiply both sides

    5 * (1/5a) = (5) * (-5)

    a=-25
