5a - 9 + 9 = 26 + 9
5a = 35
7=a

5a-9=26
+9 +9 add 9 to both sides
5a/5=35/5 divide 5 on both sides
a=7 a equals 7 cuz 35 divided by 5 =7.

5a-9=26
you want to get a by its self. So you have to add 9 on bother sides.
5a-9+9=26+9
-9 and 9 cancel out and you are left with:
5a=35
You want to get a by its self so the opposite of multiplication is division.
Divide a on both sides.
5a/5=35/5
The 5 cancel out beside a and you are left with
a=35/5
Divide 35/5 and get 7
a=7
