Question

I need the solution to this problem

Answer 1

Let's start by simplifying the multiplication:

24a - 6a + 15 = 51

Now let's simplify by doing the subtraction on the left side:

18a + 15 = 51

Now we'll simplify the addition by subtracting 15 from both sides:

18a = 36

Now we simplify the multiplication by dividing both sides by 18, and we have our final answer:

a = 2
