Question 809731
{{{9a+5=3a-1}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{9a=3a-1-5}}} Subtract {{{5}}} from both sides.



{{{9a-3a=-1-5}}} Subtract {{{3a}}} from both sides.



{{{6a=-1-5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{6a=-6}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{a=(-6)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{6}}} to isolate {{{a}}}.



{{{a=-1}}} Reduce.
