If the number on the right of the number you're trying to round is greater than 5, round it up. If the number on the right of the number you're trying to round is less than 5, round down.
So you're trying to round to the nearest whole number, look on the number on the right, it's bigger than 5, it's a 7. Therefore, round the whole number up so it would be 7.
12a + 6 + 3a = 15a + 2
15a = 15a - 4
0 = - 4
