Solve a+3d=5a

$$a + 3 d = 5 a$$

Solve for a

$$a=\frac{3d}{4}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 5a from both sides.

$$a+3d-5a=0$$

Combine a and -5a to get -4a.

$$-4a+3d=0$$

Subtract 3d from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-4a=-3d$$

Divide both sides by -4.

$$\frac{-4a}{-4}=-\frac{3d}{-4}$$

Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.

$$a=-\frac{3d}{-4}$$

Divide -3d by -4.

$$a=\frac{3d}{4}$$

Solve for d

$$d=\frac{4a}{3}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract a from both sides.

$$3d=5a-a$$

Combine 5a and -a to get 4a.

$$3d=4a$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$\frac{3d}{3}=\frac{4a}{3}$$

Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.

$$d=\frac{4a}{3}$$
