\dfrac{\text{a}}{4} - 5 = - 8

We're trying to get "a" onto its own side of the equal sign, so let's start out by adding 5 to both sides of the equal sign.

\dfrac{\text{a}}{4} -5 + 5 = -8 + 5

Simplify.

\dfrac{\text{a}}{4} = -3

Now, we need to get rid of "4" as the denominator (the bottom number in a fraction). So to do so, we must multiply both sides by 4.

\dfrac{\text{a}}{4}\times4=-3\times4

Simplify.

\text{a} = -12

So, our answer = -12
