3a-2-a+6=-3\times 2
Multiply both sides by 2.
3a+4-a=-3\times 2
Add -2 and 6 to get 4.
3a+4-a=-6
Multiply -3 and 2 to get -6.
3a-a=-6-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
3a-a=-10
Subtract 4 from -6 to get -10.
2a=-10
Combine 3a and -a to get 2a.
a=\frac{-10}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
a=-5
Divide -10 by 2 to get -5.
