SOLUTION: solve for 'a'
3a=c-a(b+d)
answer is a=c/3+b+d
with a negative 'a', how do you get to the single 'a' on the right?

First use distribution to expand the right side
Now move all the terms with an 'a' in them to the same side Basically we added ab+ad to both sides
Now use distribution to pull the a out of the three terms on the left side
Now divide both sides by (3+b+d)
