Question

Solve the equation.
9a + 3 = 6a+ 6

Answer 1

Get all the 'a' terms to one side. Then get everything else to the other side.

Answer 2

How do we do this?

Answer 3

i dont no

Answer 4

We want 'a' all by itself. So why not isolate it on the left side


9a + 3 = 6a+ 6 ... Start with the given equation.

9a + 3-3 = 6a+ 6-3 ... Subtract 3 from both sides.

9a = 6a + 3 ... Combine like terms.

Then what's next?

Answer 5

3a = 3

a = 1

Answer 6

you nailed it
