Answer:

The value of a;

[tex]a=2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given the equation;

[tex]-3a+5=-1[/tex]

To solve;

Let's subtract 5 from both sides.

[tex]\begin{gathered} -3a+5-5=-1-5 \\ -3a=-6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then to get a, let us divide both sides by -3;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-3a}{-3}=\frac{-6}{-3} \\ a=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of a;

[tex]a=2[/tex]
