against coc to give you an answer, but i can walk you through if you have time

OpenStudy (batman31):

first I would utilize the distributive property

OpenStudy (batman31):

what is the equation now panda?

OpenStudy (batman31):

i can only help if you help yourself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[9a-3a-18=-6\]

OpenStudy (batman31):

what you would probably want to do next would be to make one side be all versions of A, by that I mean add 18 to both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[9a-3a-18+18=-6+18\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[9a-3a=-24\]

OpenStudy (batman31):

then combine like terms

OpenStudy (batman31):

nooo it does not equal -24

OpenStudy (batman31):

-6+18=12

OpenStudy (batman31):

we have 6a=12 after we combine like terms, then divide both sides by 6 to get a=2
