Standard Operating Procedure for Formula Resolution
As a Retail Operations Manager, you are training a new assistant supervisor on how to process inventory adjustments using the formula $5(a - 3) + 5 = -10$, where 'a' represents the weekly adjustment factor. Write a short instructional guide for the supervisor that describes the full step-by-step procedure to solve for 'a'. In your guide, clearly recall and explain each algebraic action taken, from the initial distribution and combining of terms to the final division and verification of the result.
