2=a+6\sin(\frac{\pi }{3})
Cancel out 12, the greatest common factor in 4 and 12.
2=a+6\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
Get the value of \sin(\frac{\pi }{3}) from trigonometric values table.
2=a+3\sqrt{3}
Cancel out 2, the greatest common factor in 6 and 2.
a+3\sqrt{3}=2
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
a=2-3\sqrt{3}
Subtract 3\sqrt{3} from both sides.
