Answer:

a = 5.333.. or 5 1/3

Explanation:

I am not sure what your question is but it looks like you need to solve for a.

Based on that fact:

6a - 10 = 12 - 6 + 3a you multiply -1 by each term in the parenthesis

Then it is simple algebra

6a -10 = 6+ 3a

+10 + 10 add 10 to both sides

6a = 16 + 3a

-3a -3a add -3a to both sides

3a = 16 Divide both sides by 3

a = 5.3333
