The correct answer is:
$2$
$\int \frac{5 \tan x}{\tan x-2} d x=\int \frac{5 \sin x}{\sin x-2 \cos x} d x$
$\Rightarrow \int\left[\frac{2(\cos x+2 \sin x)+(\sin x-2 \cos x)}{\sin x-2 \cos x}\right] d x$
$=2 \int\left(\frac{\cos x+2 \sin x}{\sin x-2 \cos x}\right) d x+\int d x+k$
$=2 \log |\sin x-2 \cos x|+x+k \quad \therefore a=2$
