    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
