6a-1=2%2B2a Start with the given equation.


6a=2%2B2a%2B1 Add 1 to both sides.


6a-2a=2%2B1 Subtract 2a from both sides.


4a=2%2B1 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
