You need an equal sign there. What does that equation equal? 0?

Combine like terms:
7 - a + 6 + 5a =
(7 + 6) + (5a - a) =
13 + 4a =
4a + 13.
This isn't an equation, therefore, the value of 'a' can not be determined.

Simplifying
7 + -1a = 6 + 5a
Solving
7 + -1a = 6 + 5a
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5a' to each side of the equation.
7 + -1a + -5a = 6 + 5a + -5a
Combine like terms: -1a + -5a = -6a
7 + -6a = 6 + 5a + -5a
Combine like terms: 5a + -5a = 0
7 + -6a = 6 + 0
7 + -6a = 6
Add '-7' to each side of the equation.
7 + -7 + -6a = 6 + -7
Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
0 + -6a = 6 + -7
-6a = 6 + -7
Combine like terms: 6 + -7 = -1
-6a = -1
a = 1/6

7 - a + 6 + 5a
Collect like terms ; that is numbers and values in 'a'.
13 + 4a
To find a value for 'a' the original statement has to be equated to some value, say '0' zero.
So:-
13 + 4a = 0 ( subtract 13 from both sides).
13 - 13 + 4a = 0 -13
4a = -13 ( divide both sides by 4).
4a/4 = -13/4
a = -13/4 (-3 1/4 = -3.25)

Are you supposed to simplify?
4a+13
can't solve for a without = sign
Should it be
7-a=6+5a?
If so
-6a=-1
a=1/6

7-a=6+5a
add a each sides
7=6+6a
subtract 6 each sides
a= 1/6
