What is the value of a? a-2=3+6a over/divided by 3

Answer: A = - 3

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

a-2=

3+6a

3

a+-2=2a+1 (Distribute)

a-2=2a+1

Step 2: Subtract 2a from both sides.

a-2-2a=2a+1-2a

-a-2=1

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.

-a-2+2=1+2

-a=3

Step 4: Divide both sides by - 1.

-a

-1

=

3

-1

a=-3
