Answer:
a=6
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the value of a you need to simplify the equation first. so...
3(a+3)-6=21 (you remove the bracket first)
3a+9-6=21
3a+3=21 (you collect the like terms then)
3a=21-3
3a=18 (then you both divide both sides by 3 to find the value of a)
a=18/3
a=6
to check your answer substitute 3 instead of a
3(a+3)-6=21
3(6+3)-6=21
3(9)-6=21 (according to BODMAS since multiplication comes first you multiply 3 with 9 before subtracting it from 6.)
29-6=21
21=21
Answer:6
Step-by-step explanation:
3(a + 3) - 6 = 21
3(a + 3) = 21 + 6
3(a + 3) =27
a + 3. = 27 ÷ 3
a + 3. = 9
a. = 9 - 3
a. = 6
