You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"6a%2B5a=-11\"$ Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"11a=-11\"$ Combine like terms on the left side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"a=%28-11%29%2F%2811%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"11\"$ to isolate $\"a\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"a=-1\"$ Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------------------------\r
