Hey there! :)
Answer:
a = -8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
3 - 9a = 27
Subtract 3 from both sides:
3 - 3 -9a = 27 -3
-9a = 24
Divide both sides by -9:
-9a/(-9) = 24/(-9)
a = -24/9
Simplify the fraction:
Solution,
[tex]3 - 9a = 27 \\ or \: - 9a = 27 - 3 \\ or \: - 9a = 24 \\ or \: a = \frac{24}{ - 9} \\ a = - \frac{8}{3} [/tex]
Hope this helps..
Good luck on your assignment..
