Question

$$a-15=4a-3......a=$$

Solve for a

$a=-4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $4a$ from both sides.

$$a-15-4a=-3$$

Combine $a$ and $-4a$ to get $-3a$.

$$-3a-15=-3$$

Add $15$ to both sides.

$$-3a=-3+15$$

Add $-3$ and $15$ to get $12$.

$$-3a=12$$

Divide both sides by $-3$.

$$a=\frac{12}{-3}$$

Divide $12$ by $-3$ to get $-4$.

$$a=-4$$
