+8 You need to isolate a on one side of the equation and b on the other side.
3a+4b=5a−6b+24−3a
Combine 5a and -3a to get 2a.
3a+4b=2a−6b+24
Subtract 2a from both sides of the equation.
3a+4b−2a=−6b+24
Combine 3a and −2a to get a.
a+4b=−6b+24
Subtract 4b from both sides of the equation.
a=−6b+24−4b
Combine -6b and -4b to get -10b.
a=−10b+24
Therefore, the solution is a = 24 – 10b
