Question 845277
{{{-6(3-3a)-8(6a+5)=32}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-18+18a-48a-40=32}}} Distribute.



{{{-58-30a=32}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-30a=32+58}}} Add {{{58}}} to both sides.



{{{-30a=90}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{a=(90)/(-30)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-30}}} to isolate {{{a}}}.



{{{a=-3}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{a=-3}}}
