2\left(2x+a\right)-\left(9z+2\right)=3\left(z-a\right)+2\times 4a
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6x, the least common multiple of 3x,6x,2x.
4x+2a-\left(9z+2\right)=3\left(z-a\right)+2\times 4a
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x+a.
4x+2a-9z-2=3\left(z-a\right)+2\times 4a
To find the opposite of 9z+2, find the opposite of each term.
4x+2a-9z-2=3z-3a+2\times 4a
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by z-a.
4x+2a-9z-2=3z-3a+8a
Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.
4x+2a-9z-2=3z+5a
Combine -3a and 8a to get 5a.
4x+2a-9z-2-5a=3z
Subtract 5a from both sides.
4x-3a-9z-2=3z
Combine 2a and -5a to get -3a.
-3a-9z-2=3z-4x
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-3a-2=3z-4x+9z
Add 9z to both sides.
-3a-2=12z-4x
Combine 3z and 9z to get 12z.
-3a=12z-4x+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-3a=2+12z-4x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3a}{-3}=\frac{2+12z-4x}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
a=\frac{2+12z-4x}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
a=\frac{4x}{3}-4z-\frac{2}{3}
Divide 12z-4x+2 by -3.
2\left(2x+a\right)-\left(9z+2\right)=3\left(z-a\right)+2\times 4a
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6x, the least common multiple of 3x,6x,2x.
4x+2a-\left(9z+2\right)=3\left(z-a\right)+2\times 4a
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x+a.
4x+2a-9z-2=3\left(z-a\right)+2\times 4a
To find the opposite of 9z+2, find the opposite of each term.
4x+2a-9z-2=3z-3a+2\times 4a
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by z-a.
4x+2a-9z-2=3z-3a+8a
Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.
4x+2a-9z-2=3z+5a
Combine -3a and 8a to get 5a.
4x-9z-2=3z+5a-2a
Subtract 2a from both sides.
4x-9z-2=3z+3a
Combine 5a and -2a to get 3a.
4x-2=3z+3a+9z
Add 9z to both sides.
4x-2=12z+3a
Combine 3z and 9z to get 12z.
4x=12z+3a+2
Add 2 to both sides.
\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{12z+3a+2}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{12z+3a+2}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
x=\frac{3a}{4}+3z+\frac{1}{2}
Divide 12z+3a+2 by 4.
x=\frac{3a}{4}+3z+\frac{1}{2}\text{, }x\neq 0
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
