Answer: [tex]1\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The equation in terms of a is
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{a}{a-1}-\dfrac{a+5}{a}=0\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a}{a-1}=\dfrac{a+5}{a}\\\\\Rightarrow a^2=(a-1)(a+5)\\\\\Rightarrow a^2=a^2+4a-5\\\\ \Rightarrow 4a=5\\\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{5}{4}\ \text{or}\ 1\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
