\huge\text{Hey there!}



\mathtt{5a + 3 = 18}\\\\\textsf{SUBTRACT 3 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\mathtt{5a + 3 - 3 = 18 - 3}\\\\\textsf{SIMPLIFY it}\\\\\mathtt{5a = 18 - 3}\\\\\mathtt{5a = 15}\\\\\textsf{DIVIDE 5 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\mathtt{(5a)/(5) = (15)/(5)}\\\\\textsf{SIMPLIFY it}\\\\\mathtt{a = (15)/(5)}\\\\\mathtt{a = 3}\\\\\\\huge\text{Therefore your answer should be:}\\\\\huge\boxed{\mathtt{a = 3}}\huge\checkmark
