8th grade algebra homework again.. I'd appreciate it if you'd explain how to solve this problem. 1/3a-6=-15

OpenStudy (mimi_mik):

@turbostudier I need help again please!

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

first add 6 to both sides and tell me what you get

OpenStudy (mimi_mik):

@jamgo_IN_DTOWN I got -9

OpenStudy (mimi_mik):

@jango_IN_DTOWN -9

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

so a/3=-9 multiply both sides by 3 now and the left hand side will be just a and the right hand side will be the solution

OpenStudy (mimi_mik):

@jango_IN_DTOWN so a=-27?

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

correct

OpenStudy (mimi_mik):

@jango_IN_DTOWN thank you!
