Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify
[tex]26=6\cdot \left(5-a\right)\\26=6\cdot 5+6\cdot -a\\26=30+6\cdot -a\\26=30+\left(6\cdot -1\right)a\\26=30-6a\\30-6a=26[/tex]
Group constants
[tex]30-6a=26\\30-6a-30=26-30\\-6a+30-30=26-30\\-6a=26-30\\-6a=-4\\[/tex]
Isolate the term, a
[tex]-6a=-4\\\frac{-6a}{-6}=\frac{-4}{-6}\\\frac{6a}{6}=\frac{-4}{-6}\\a=\frac{-4}{-6}\\\\\frac{-a}{-b} = \frac{a}{b}\\\\a=\frac{4}{6}\\a=\frac{2\cdot 2}{3\cdot 2}\\a=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
