Solving
-4a + 6b + -5c = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6b' to each side of the equation.
-4a + 6b + -6b + -5c = 0 + -6b
Combine like terms: 6b + -6b = 0
-4a + 0 + -5c = 0 + -6b
-4a + -5c = 0 + -6b
Remove the zero:
-4a + -5c = -6b
Add '5c' to each side of the equation.
-4a + -5c + 5c = -6b + 5c
Combine like terms: -5c + 5c = 0
-4a + 0 = -6b + 5c
-4a = -6b + 5c
Divide each side by '-4'.
a = 1.5b + -1.25c
Simplifying
a = 1.5b + -1.25c
