108-a=2a\times 36-6
Multiply 3 and 36 to get 108.
108-a=72a-6
Multiply 2 and 36 to get 72.
108-a-72a=-6
Subtract 72a from both sides.
108-73a=-6
Combine -a and -72a to get -73a.
-73a=-6-108
Subtract 108 from both sides.
-73a=-114
Subtract 108 from -6 to get -114.
a=\frac{-114}{-73}
Divide both sides by -73.
a=\frac{114}{73}
Fraction \frac{-114}{-73} can be simplified to \frac{114}{73} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
