    5a+53a-1=3

    add 1 to each side

    5a + 53a = 4

    58a = 4

    a = 4/58

    a = 2/29

    No real number (D)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the equation 5a+53a-1=3

    To get the value of 'a'

    First, we will add 1 to both sides to have;

    5a+53a-1+1 = 3+1

    5a+53a=4

    58a=4

    Dividing both sides by the coefficient of 'a' which is 58 gives us;

    58a/58 = 4/58

    a = 2/29

    The value of a is therefore no real number but a fraction.
