Statistical Inference — moment estimator of lower endpoint

Consider the following for the next two (02) items: Let $X_1, X_2, X_3, …, X_n$ be a sample from $f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{b-a}, & a < x < b \ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$ . What is the estimator of 'a' obtained by using method of moments?
