Answer:
a = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
120 = 3 + 3(7a - 3) (by PEDMAS, expand parentheses first by distributive property)
120 = 3 + 7a(3) - 3(3)
120 = 3 + 21a - 9
120 = 21a - 6 (add 6 to both sides and rearrange)
21a = 120 + 6
21a = 126 (divide both sides by 21)
a = 126/21
a = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
120-(3+3*(7*a-3))=0
Step by step solution :
STEP
1
:
Equation at the end of step 1
120 - (3 + 3 • (7a - 3)) = 0

3
:
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
126 - 21a = -21 • (a - 6)
Equation at the end of step
3
:
-21 • (a - 6) = 0
STEP
4
:
Equations which are never true:
4.1 Solve : -21 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.2 Solve : a-6 = 0
Add 6 to both sides of the equation :
a = 6
One solution was found :
a = 6
