Question

Describe the steps you would use to solve this equation: 3a + 3 - 6a = 15. Include your answer in the description.

Answer 1

Answer:

a=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3a + 3 - 6a = 15

combine like terms: 3a +6a

9a + 3 = 15

add 3 to 15

9a = 18

divide 9 from 18

a = 2

plug it into the equation to check for errors!

3 (2) + 3 - 6 (2) = 15

3 (2) = 6 -6 (2) = -12

6 + 3 - 12 = 15

3 - 12 = 9

9 + 6 = 15

Hope this helps! ❤

Answer 2

The answer is -4. I don’t have an explanation though because I used the calculator.
