6(a+2)+3=3(10-3a)
Solve for a

Answer 1

3

Answer 2

When you distribute, you get
6a+12+3=30-9a

Answer 3

6a+15=30-9a

Answer 4

15a=15

Answer 5

a=1

Answer 6

Use the distributive property. On the left side of the equal sign, multiply 6 into a and 2, since they are inside the parentheses.
This will make it (6a + 12) + 3 = 3(10-3a)
Now distribute/multiply 3 to the values in the parentheses on the right side.
This will make it 6a + 15 = 30 - 9a
Add 9a to each side.
15a + 15 = 30
Subtract 15 from each side.
15a = 15
a=1
