Answer:

a = 1/6

Explanation:

You want to know the solution for the equation ...

1/(3a²) -1/a = 1/(6a²)

Solution

Multiply by a² to get the variable out of the denominator.

1/3 -a = 1/6

a = 1/6 . . . . . . add a-1/6

__

Additional comment

The factor 'a' in the denominator of the original equation means 'a' cannot be zero. Fortunately, a=0 did not show up as a solution.
