3x-y+a+a=63
Combine 2x and x to get 3x.
3x-y+2a=63
Combine a and a to get 2a.
-y+2a=63-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
2a=63-3x+y
Add y to both sides.
2a=63+y-3x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{63+y-3x}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
a=\frac{63+y-3x}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
3x-y+a+a=63
Combine 2x and x to get 3x.
3x-y+2a=63
Combine a and a to get 2a.
3x+2a=63+y
Add y to both sides.
3x=63+y-2a
Subtract 2a from both sides.
3x=y-2a+63
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{y-2a+63}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{y-2a+63}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=\frac{y}{3}-\frac{2a}{3}+21
Divide 63+y-2a by 3.
