Which accurately shows how to use inverse operations to find the value of a in a + 5 = 14?

To use inverse to solve the operation we shall proceed as follows:

a+5=14

using the additive inverse property we shall have:

a+5 + (-5) = 14 + (-5)

simplifying the above we get:

a+5-5=14-5

a+0=9

thus

a=9
