Answer:

a = 11

Explanation:

One is given the following equation:

3a - 7 = 26

Use inverse operations to solve this equation:

3a - 7 = 26

(add (7) to both sides)

3a = 26 + 7

Simplify,

3a = 26 + 7

3a = 33

Inverse operations,

3a = 33

(divide both sides by (3))

a = 33 / 3

Simplify,

a = 11
