4-3%28a-1%29=3%2Ba Start with the given equation.


4-3a%2B3=3%2Ba Distribute.


-3a%2B7=3%2Ba Combine like terms on the left side.


-3a=3%2Ba-7 Subtract 7 from both sides.


-3a-a=3-7 Subtract a from both sides.


-4a=3-7 Combine like terms on the left side.


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


a=%28-4%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate a.


a=1 Reduce.
