$a = - (\frac{3}{4})$ $a = -(3/4)$

$5 a + 12 = 6 - 3 a$ $5a + 12 = 6 - 3a$

$5 a + 3 a = - 12 + 6$ $5a + 3a = -12 + 6$ Rearranging like terms together.

$8 a = - 6$ $8a = -6$

$a = - (\frac{6}{8}) = - (\frac{3}{4})$ $a = -(6/8) = -(3/4)$

$a = - \frac{6}{8} = - \frac{3}{4}$ $a=-6/8=-3/4$

$5 a + 12 = 6 - 3 a$ $5a+12=6-3a$
$8 a = - 6$ $8a=-6$

$a = - \frac{6}{8} = - \frac{3}{4}$ $a=-6/8=-3/4$
