Answer 1

$\huge\star{\underline{\mathfrak{Answer}}}$

-1/5a=2

a=2+(1/5)

a=(10+1)/5

a=11/5

Answer 2

$\huge\bf{Answer:-}$

Supposing you want this equation to be solved for a:

we start with

$-\dfrac{a}{5}+21=23$

Subtract 21 from both sides:

$-\dfrac{a}{5}=2$

Multiply both sides by 5:

-a=10−a=10

Change sign to both sides:

a=-10a=−10
