\textbf{Hello There!}

Here's a step-by-step explanation!


\textbf{Step 1:}
\textbf{Simplify both sides of the equation.}


3(a+1.5)=-1.5


(3)(a)+(3)(1.5)=-1.5 \textbf{ (distribute)}


3a+4.5=-1.5


\textbf{Step 2: Subtract 4.5 from both sides.}


3a+4.5-4.5=-1.5-4.5


3a=-6


\textbf{Step 3:}
\textbf{Divide both sides by 3.}


(3a)/(3) =(-6)/(3)


a=-2


\textit{Hopefully, this helps you!!}
