    -2 (a-8) + 6=36 (distribute the - 2 into a and - 8)

    -2a+16+6a=36 (combine like terms - 2a+6a)

    16+4a=36 (subtract 16 to both sides 16-16 and 36-16)

    4a=20 (divide 4 to both sides)

    a=5

    -2 (a - 8) + 6a = 36

    - 2a + 16 + 6a = 36

    4a + 16 = 36

    4a = 36 - 16

    4a = 20

    a = 5

    Have a nice days ...
