-a / 4 + 6 -6 = -3 - 6
-a / 4 * 4 = -9 * 4
-a = -36
a = 36

I don't know. Let's solve it together. Then we'll both know what 'A' is,
and PLUS, you'll know how to find it.

6 - A/4 = -3

We want to get 'A' all by itself on one side of the equation,
and everything else on the other side.

Subtract 6 from each side: - A/4 = -9

Multiply each side by 4 : -A = -36

Multiply each side by -1 : A = 36

Did you follow that ?
