6a-10=2a-7 Start with the given equation.


6a=2a-7%2B10 Add 10 to both sides.


6a-2a=-7%2B10 Subtract 2a from both sides.


4a=-7%2B10 Combine like terms on the left side.


4a=3 Combine like terms on the right side.


a=%283%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate a.

So the solution is a=3%2F4
