    Simplifying 3a + - 2b = 5a + 6b Solving 3a + - 2b = 5a + 6b Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-5a' to each side of the equation. 3a + - 5a + - 2b = 5a + - 5a + 6b Combine like terms: 3a + - 5a = - 2a - 2a + - 2b = 5a + - 5a + 6b Combine like terms: 5a + - 5a = 0 - 2a + - 2b = 0 + 6b - 2a + - 2b = 6b Add '2b' to each side of the equation. - 2a + - 2b + 2b = 6b + 2b Combine like terms: - 2b + 2b = 0 - 2a + 0 = 6b + 2b - 2a = 6b + 2b Combine like terms: 6b + 2b = 8b - 2a = 8b Divide each side by '-2'. a = - 4b Simplifying a = - 4b
