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 \( a = 12 \).
