I think B
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
why?
OpenStudy (helpblahblahblah):
Because I couldn't find a correct solution
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
how do you solve equation involving one variable?
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
well since you said let me ask how did you decide that you couldn't find any correct solution
what did you try and made think there is not solution

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
sorry of the english lol
missing lot of words, but you got me i hope
OpenStudy (helpblahblahblah):
I'm kinda lost tbh lol...
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
i need to see you work something whether be wrong or not but tell me
whatever you can do here to solve such equation
OpenStudy (helpblahblahblah):
6a-3a-6=-2+3
Combined liked terms: 3a-6=1
Added 6 on each side left me with 3a=7

Divide 3 on each side
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
