a=0

narissa · Answer

how did u get that answer? :)

nykoreyan · Answer

Solve for a by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable

texaschic101 · Answer

6(a + 3) = 18 + a --- distribute through the parenthesis
6a + 18 = 18 + a -- subtract a from both sides
6a - a + 18 = 18 -- subtract 18 from both sides
5a = 18 - 18
5a = 0
a = 0/5 or just 0

nykoreyan · Answer

which is what I said

narissa · Answer

there isnt at 0 as my answer choice

texaschic101 · Answer

what are your answer choices ?

texaschic101 · Answer

that does not make sense because if you sub in 0 for a, the equation is correct.
6(0 + 3) = 18 + 0
6(3) = 18
18 = 18 (correct)
