Answer:


a = - (8)/(3)

Solution,


3 - 9a = 27 \\ or \: - 9a = 27 - 3 \\ or \: - 9a = 24 \\ or \: a = (24)/( - 9) \\ a = - (8)/(3)

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment..

Hey there! :)

Answer:

a = -8/3

Explanation:

Given:

3 - 9a = 27

Subtract 3 from both sides:

3 - 3 -9a = 27 -3

-9a = 24

Divide both sides by -9:

-9a/(-9) = 24/(-9)

a = -24/9

Simplify the fraction:

a = -8/3
