Answer:

a = -2  

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so for parallel lines you need to make slopes for both the lines equal. So for line y = x + 4 the slope is 1. (slope is the coefficent infront of the x value while in y=mx+b form. To make the other line have a slope of 1 a needs to be a number as so that 2a+5 = 1

2a+5 = 1

2a = 1 - 5

a = -4/2

a = -2
