解:?$(1)$?因?yàn)?$x = -2$?是方程?$2a + 4x = x + 5a$?的解,
所以將?$x=-2$?代入方程得:
?$ 2a + 4×(-2) = -2 + 5a$?
?$ 2a - 8 = -2 + 5a$?
?$ 2a - 5a = -2 + 8$?
?$ -3a = 6$?
?$ a = -2$?
?$ (2)$?由?$(1)$?知?$a=-2,$?將其代入方程?$ay + 5 = 6a - y$?得:
?$ -2y + 5 = 6×(-2) - y$?
?$ -2y + 5 = -12 - y$?
?$ -2y + y = -12 - 5$?
?$ -y = -17$?
?$ y = 17$?
