Question

76=
5
4
​
a+16

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 76 = 5a + 16 \), we need to isolate \( a \). Here's how to do it step by step:

1. Subtract 16 from both sides of the equation:
\[
76 - 16 = 5a
\]
\[
60 = 5a
\]

2. Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for \( a \):
\[
a = \frac{60}{5}
\]
\[
a = 12
\]

So, the solution is \( a = 12 \).
