9a + 3 = 6a + 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you combine the like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there fore its a=1

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

9a - 6a = 6 - 3 3a = 3 a = 3/3 a = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because after you combine the like terms, you then divide by the number multiplied by a to get a by ITSELF

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AND when moving over the equal sign, the number changes from either a negitive to positive or positive to negative :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 6a from both sides now you have 3a +3 = 6 now, subtract 3 from both sides you get 3a=3 divide both sides by 3 and a=1
