3x^{2}-2\left(a+3\right)x+3a=0
Multiply -1 and 2 to get -2.
3x^{2}+\left(-2a-6\right)x+3a=0
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by a+3.
3x^{2}-2ax-6x+3a=0
Use the distributive property to multiply -2a-6 by x.
-2ax-6x+3a=-3x^{2}
Subtract 3x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-2ax+3a=-3x^{2}+6x
Add 6x to both sides.
\left(-2x+3\right)a=-3x^{2}+6x
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(3-2x\right)a=6x-3x^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(3-2x\right)a}{3-2x}=\frac{3x\left(2-x\right)}{3-2x}
Divide both sides by -2x+3.
a=\frac{3x\left(2-x\right)}{3-2x}
Dividing by -2x+3 undoes the multiplication by -2x+3.
