a = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1. distribute the - 6 on the left into the parentheses. you should get - 36a + 30.
2. on the side right of the =, distribute the - 2 to get - 16 + 10a.
now it should look like - 36a + 30 = - 16 + 10a.
3. move the terms over to isolate the a value. subtract 30 to the right side to get - 46 (-36a=-46+10a)
4. move the 10a on the right to the left by subtracting it to the other side.
(-46a=-46)
5. divide by - 46 to get a=1
