Can someone do this equation for me -11=a+5+7a

a = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms: 7a + a = 8aRe-write the expression: -11 = 5 + 8aSubtract 5 from each side, so it now looks like this: -16 = 8aDivide each side by 8 to cancel out the 8 next to a. It should now look like this: -2 = a

I hope this helps!
