2a%2B6=27 Start with the given equation.


2a%2B6-6=27-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


2a=21 Combine like terms on the right side.


%282a%29%2F2=%2821%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate a.


a+=+21%2F2


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is a=21%2F2 (as a decimal, the answer is a+=+10.5)
