Answer: a=0
Explanation:
8a+a−3=6a−2a−3
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
8a+a−3=6a−2a−3
8a+a+−3=6a+−2a+−3
(8a+a)+(−3)=(6a+−2a)+(−3)(Combine Like Terms)
9a+−3=4a+−3
9a−3=4a−3
Step 2: Subtract 4a from both sides.
9a−3−4a=4a−3−4a
5a−3=−3
Step 3: Add 3 to both sides.
5a−3+3=−3+3
5a=0
Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.
5a /5= 0/5
Answer: a=0
