What is the value of a?
9a-3(a-6)=-6
a=
HELP AZAP PLEASE
To solve for a, we first have to remove the ( )
9a -3a +18 = -6
6a + 18 = -6
Can you finish from here?
Be sure to check your answer in the original equation.
may u please tell me wat do i have to do next
Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation.
ty so much
To find the value of a, we will solve the equation step-by-step.
1. Start by distributing the -3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
9a - 3a + 18 = -6
2. Combine like terms:
6a + 18 = -6
3. To isolate the variable, subtract 18 from both sides:
6a = -6 - 18
6a = -24
4. Finally, divide both sides by 6 to solve for a:
a = -24 / 6
a = -4
Therefore, the value of a is -4.
