How do you solve this problem?

\[ 8a + a - 3 = 6a - 2a - 3 \]

Asked by nikkirivvera

Answer (3)

8 a + a − 3 = 6 a − 2 a − 3 9 a − 3 = 4 a − 3 / + 3 9 a − 3 + 3 = 4 a − 3 + 3 9 a = 4 a / − 4 a 9 a − 4 a = 4 a − 4 a 5 a = 0 / : 5 5 a : 5 = 0 : 5 a = 0

Ok so => 8a + a -3 = 6a -2a -3 9a - 3 = 4a -3 -3 on both sides is gone so 9a = 4a 9a - 4a =0 => 5a = 0 so a=0
