-6a + 10 = -27

First step: subtract 10 from both sides:

-6a = -37

Now divide both sides by -6:

A = -37/-6

Simplify:

A = 37/6

Answer:

a = 37/6

Explanation:

-6a +10 = -27

Subtract 10 from each side using the subtraction property of equality

-6a+10-10 = -27-10

-6a = -37

Divide each side by -6 using the division property of equality

-6a/-6 = -37/-6

a = 37/6
